title: Is OData RESTful?
body: <p>I am writing an WEB API project where I use OData for advcened querying of resources. The service should be RESTful. But I am not sure if OData is RESTful because of URI format.</p>
  
  <p>Everywhere I look REST URI format looks like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://example.com/resources/142
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But OData URI format should be like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://example.com/resources(142)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am not sure if both is right for REST or OData is not completly RESTful.</p>
