Paging in ASP.NET Core OData 8

Applies To:# OData Web API 8 supported OData Web API v8

Loading large datasets can be slow. Services and clients often rely on paging to load data in chunks or pages to improve the response times and user experience. ASP.NET Core OData provides support for client-driven and server-driven paging models.

In client-driven paging, the client uses the $top and $skip query options to request a specific page of content from the server. In server-driven paging, the server limits the number of items per response page and includes a next link in the response that the client can use to request the next page.
