WCF Data Services and Breeze::throw new Error(“Breeze does not yet support saving thru OData”);

OData for WebAPI is rather ancient and doesn't support a lot of features WCF Data Services do. I can't use WebAPI's OData support at all b/c of those too many limitations.

That makes breezeJS useless. So the question is why is it 100% tied to WebAPI ODATA and is not a separate 'adapter' in the first place?

Most of the worlds' oData services are similar to WCF Data Services and not to WebAPI sub-limited support.

  1. I don't want to carry 125 KB of useless code (WebAPI support that is) in top of the DataJS library when targeting WCF Data Services
  2. I can't even use Breeze if saving through WCF Data Services is not supported!
  3. When we will really have full support for WCF Data Services like you did for WebAPI?
