This documentation serves as an introduction to the latest features and significant changes made for the Ed-Fi ODS / API v2.1.
This release has focused on remaining backwards compatible with the Ed-Fi ODS/API v2.0 release, and is still aligned to the Ed-Fi Data Standard v2.0. In addition to a significant number of enhancements and bug fixes that improve stability and performance, this release introduces API Composite Resources, which allow platform hosts to create API endpoints that combine and re-shape resources – analogous to the way a database view can join information from multiple tables. The as-shipped configuration contains two useful API Composites, one for enrollment data and another for assessment information.
Audience
