Target Service, API
The driver supports all versions of Microsoft SharePoint that support the SOAP API. This includes: Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, SharePoint Server 2007+ (2010, 2013, etc.), and SharePoint Online.
Schema, Data Model
REST/SOAP. You can view the list of files and folders as modeled tables. The driver also models your SharePoint Lists (custom lists) as bidirectional tables; when you connect, the driver retrieves the metadata for these tables by calling SharePoint Web services. If you want to access the data with files in SharePoint, you will need to use CData Drivers for CSV, Excel, JSON or XML.
Key Objects
Basic managerial objects like Group, Roles, Users in addition to dynamically retrieved SharePoint List tables.
Operations
CRUD operations for SharePoint Lists. Stored Procedures to Up/Download Documents, Attachments, and manage Lists and Folders.
Authentication
AzureAD, AzureServicePrincipalCert, AzurePassword, AzureMSI, PingFederate, ADFS, OneLogin, Okta, SharePointOAuth, NTLM, Basic, OAuth, OAuthJWT, Negotiate, None
Specific feature or properties
To connect with the data in files such as CSV, Excel, JSON, XML or Access, you can use respective file drivers CData provides.
