I am looking at implementing an odata solution and both web api and RESTier are listed as viable v4 odata libraries in the odata.org libraries. They both seem to use odata core.

  1. What are the differences?
  2. I am looking into specifically implementing open types, how is the support for that feature in both?

You can't compare them both. RESTier builds on top of Web API to allow an faster development process by automating some parts of the framework.

It serves as kind-of middelware between WebAPI and you. RESTier extends filtering, security and a lot of other things you normally would need to code by hand.
