There is a lot of confusion in our team.  Does your DataSource bind to anything?  Ie., WCF, WCF doing JSON, JSON-RPC.  Given that we have seen only REST examples, there is a bias now for Kendo using *only* REST.  My argument is that Kendo is all client side, so why would it be limited to only one or two service protocols.

Could you discuss and perhaps give links to various examples?

Thank you.

Hello,

We have a lot of demos showing the Kendo DataSource bound to various protocols:

JSONP - http://demos.kendoui.com/web/datasource/remote-data.html 
OData - http://demos.kendoui.com/web/grid/remote-data.html 
ASMX web service - https://github.com/telerik/kendo-examples-asp-net/tree/master/grid-web-service-crud 
WCF JSON - https://github.com/telerik/kendo-examples-asp-net/tree/master/grid-wcf-crud 
XML -  http://demos.kendoui.com/web/datasource/xml-data.html 
ASP.NET MVC action method which returns JSON - https://github.com/telerik/kendo-examples-asp-net-mvc/tree/master/grid-crud 

Under the hood the Kendo DataSource relies on jQuery.ajax for getting data from a remote service. Thus any limitation of the latter would be present in the Kendo DataSource.
