What are the possible types of data transports?

[Brian Vallelunga]

I've seen references to "odata" and "aspnetmvc-ajax", but what are the others? I'm specifically looking for the default type that would be called manually in: kendo.data.transports["somevalue"]

[Iliana Dyankova]

Hello Brian,

Odata is the only one type that should be used by end users. Aspnetmvc-ajax is used by Kendo UI Complete for ASP.NET MVC to perform the Ajax binding and we do not recommend to use it on its own.

I hope this information helps.

What is the default parameterMap if no function is specified? I'm asking this because I need to specify a parameterMap function for update calls, but want to allow the default parameterMap for read calls.

Hello,

 The default parameter map returns the options as they are. You can do something like this:

parameterMap: function(options, type) {

     if (type != "update") {
           return options;
     }

     // map the data as you wish
}
