Accessing Data with F# Type Providers
Learn how to easily process XML documents and call JSON-based REST services using F# type providers, how to package your F# code into a reusable .NET library, and how to integrate it into a C# ASP.NET application.
What you'll learn
Modern applications need to access data from a variety of external data sources, including XML, SQL, and JSON-based services. In this course, we look at F# type providers. With type providers, you can easily explore and access a wide range of data sources directly from your code editor. We start by learning about type providers using the F# interactive and then we demonstrate how you can integrate data access code written in F# as part of a larger C# ASP.NET project.
