Complex and Collection Literals

[syn-sanket-mistry]

Is there any plan to support Complex or collection literals for OData.

Currently the parser only supports the $filter expression, how do collection literals work with filter expressions?

[syn-sanket-mistry]

Not really sure but , there are any and all functions which can do that.

Interesting. That might be tricky to do as the parser would need to know how to handle processing lambda parameters

You are more than welcome to have a go at extending the definitions to add the any/all methods. It is definitely an interesting challenge

Any update on the functionality of filtering by nested collections?
