OData Protocol JSON Format Standards Support Document provides a statement of standards support for the Open Data (OData) protocol. This document describes the variations in the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format between the specified Microsoft implementations and the OASIS OData JSON format standards document.

The OData protocol comprises a set of specifications for representing and interacting with structured content. The core specifications for the OData protocol are specified in "Open Data Protocol (OData)" [MS-ODATA]. The OASIS "OData JSON Format Version 4.0" [ODataJSON4.0] standards document is an extension of the OData core protocol and defines representations for the OData requests and responses by using a JSON format.
