Hi Ramesh, In my point of view a client should be as lenient as possible when it comes to accepting a payload and constructing them. This assures you a client which can consume many OData Services even if they do not completely adhere to the OData Specification in some points. Also you might not want to query the metadata on client side and thus have to construct the payload as best you can.
A server on the other hand should make sure that every data he receives does at least not contain malicious data. And he should never give back a payload which does not adhere to the OData Specification. This is possible because you always have the metadata on server side. So in my opinion we should do validations there. This is we introduced separate serializers/deserializers for client and server. WDYT about this approach?

I always wondered why client serializer/deserializer was not used for JSON too, can you explain what the extra validation on server side?
