Is using OData\IQueryable in your Web API an inherantly bad thing?

This is why I dislike the rest of the framework! Do make sure to take a look at https://github.com/Roysvork/LinqToQuerystring/ as this should work more or less fine with XML... if it doesn't raise an issue :)
What i hate mostly about it, is when (and this is the implementation in Web API mostly): - synchronizing with XML (jSON is the standard :-( ) - no flexibility on put / post and patch methodes (eg. dates!) - easy a nothing object ( eg. date datetype and <birthDate /> --> your parameter object comes in as nothing... Also, they must use the yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss format - put / post / patch methods and a complextype (eg. Address). GRMBL!
