The OData (Open Data) model of UI5 enables web-based applications to easily use the OData protocol for communication with application servers.

Patric walks us through the basics, but also talks about the part

The time is right for Web Components! That’s how Peter Muessig ended our episode about Web Components two years ago. Now the question is: Is the UI5 framework ready for Web Components?
