$asArray

Returns the result of a query in an array (i.e. a collection) instead of a JSON object.

Description

If you want to receive the response in an array, you just have to add $asArray to your REST request (e.g., $asArray=true).

Example

Here is an example or how to receive the response in an array.

GET /rest/Company/?$filter="name begin a"&$top=3&$asArray=true
