SharePoint 2013 - Client Object Model
Client Side Object Model Features Overview (CSOM)
If you're building apps that run outside of the SharePoint Server, take advantage of the CSOM.
SharePoint 2013 uses CSOM to join with Business Connectivity Services and deliver better access to your data than ever before. The CSOM interacts with SharePoint via web service calls and has three types of client object models: one for .Net applications, one for Silverlight applications, and one for mobile applications.
In addition to these APIs, there is also a JavaScript object model and new REST/OData endpoints which allow you to build several types of applications using your language and platform of choice. Your Windows development experience will usually dictate when you use the REST endpoints rather than a SharePoint object model.
The new version of these APIs has added support for:
- Search
- User Profiles
- Taxonomies
- Publishing
- Feeds
- Sharing
- Workflow
- E-Discovery
- IRM
- Analytics
- BCS
