1.4 Relationship to Other Protocols

This document defines version 1.0, version 2.0, and version 3.0 of the OData protocol, which is based on the AtomPub [RFC5023] specification, which, in turn, relies on HTTP [RFC2616]. Either HTTP 1.1 or HTTP 1.0 may be used with the OData protocol. The OData protocol uses HTTP headers that are defined in the HTTP specification, but are not referenced in the AtomPub specification.

The OData protocol also uses message formats defined by other industry standard specifications, such as the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) format described in [RFC2046] and the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format described in [RFC4627].
