Smart Table with JSON instead of oData Service

[kulu]

Hello,

I am using a UI5 SmartTable with an oData Service. Now the API has changed and I need to use a REST Service which returns JSON.

My question is rather basic: Can I use the SmartTable with this new format? There are some posts about this topic but most of them are old. They say however, that a SmartTable is only usable with oData.

Or should I go into the other direction and use the "normal" UI5 Table and try to recreate the sorting, filtering and lazy loading there?

Thanks

yes, smarttable cannot work with json data directly.

Hi Jun,

thanks for you support. Is it possible to simulate the oData calls? We are using a REST API but would like the keep using the SmartTable.

Or do you have any other idea regarding this issue?
