Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 and Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2013 and later implement a client-side object model. The SharePoint Client-Side Object Model enables a client application to make batch requests to a front-end Web server running SharePoint Products and Technologies to perform operations on core platform objects such as lists (1), sites, and users. The operations can include method calls, property read operations, and property write operations.
Through the SharePoint Client-Side Object Model, a client application has access to much of the same functionality that is exposed by the SOAP Web services mentioned in section 2.1.2. The SharePoint Client-Side Object Model differs from the SOAP Web services in that it is optimized to support the placement of a batch of operations into a single request by the client application. The operations can also span object types, whereas the SOAP Web services are organized by individual object type. For more information, see [MS-CSOMSPT] section 3.2.1.
The SharePoint Client-Side Object Model can also be accessed using common web technologies via a REST methodology.
