3. Why OData?
Following common OData conventions for describing schema, url conventions, and naming and structure of common properties in a JSON

of generic OData client libraries, applications, and tools.
So with Redfish, we get the best of both worlds - a direct API accessible by JSON developers as well as the growing number of OData clients.

The only OData clients that I found are Excel and LINQpad, but neither of those are working with my Dell iDRAC's Redfish service.
Are there other, preferentially ones that work with Linux or are web-based, OData tools that someone can recommend?
The only Chrome store app I found wants me to pay them in 30 days.
