Hi Dynamics NAV Team,
We are working on one of the project for our customer to develop plugin connectors (Integration Adapter), which would enable the end users to quickly integrate cloud and on premise applications. We are targeting to develop plugin connectors for Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
What are the major differences in the WebServices for NAV 2016 vs NAV 2015/2013?
Is there any documentation link available for the comparison?
Best Regards,
Rajinder Singh

I guess there is mismatch in terminology.
1. Web client and Windows (native) client are two ways how users can access the system. Generally, similar functionality, but Web client has some limitations for user interface in comparison with Windows client.
2. Web service, it is a way to open NAV data for interaction with other systems. So, other systems may read or write data to NAV. It has nothing to do with Web client or Windows client. You can create your own web service from scratch. Then, there are NAV objects which you can publish as Web Service, not all types of objects. You can publish either Microsoft Dynamics NAV pages or codeunits as SOAP services. You can publish either pages or queries as OData services: [View:https://msdn.microsoft.com/ru-ru/library/dd355398(v=nav.90).aspx]
Thanks for you reply Alexander.
So NAV 2016 has the following Object Types listed here msdn.microsoft.com/.../hh893429(v=nav.90).aspx:
Are these object types the same for Desktop as well as SaaS(Web Client) service?
Could you please confirm this. I apologize if the question seems to be repetitive, but I need to get this clear for our development plan.
Best Regards,

The webservice is published regardless the client type (web or desktop). You can use OData or SOAP (please refer to msdn.microsoft.com/.../hh168269(v=nav.90).aspx).
Hi Alexander,
For Web Client of NAV 2016, what type of webservices are used: only OData or both(OData and SOAP)?
Is there any difference in the webservices for Desktop Client and the Web Client on NAV 2016?
Thanks and Regards,
Rajinder Singh
There are very minor changes between 2016 and 2015/2013 versions. E.g., some changes in C/AL functions that can be used in web services: GETASCENDING Function (Record) or SETASCENDING Function (Record) (Gets/Sets the sort order for the records returned, such as in data from an ODATA web service).
Check the "what's new" information releases:
You can more insight for web services from following link
Hi Rajinder,
i think there is no difference in between this version 2016,2015,2013 and R2 but earlier version is different i.e NAV 2009,R2.
you can find in below link https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd355398(v=nav.60).aspx
see above image you can find differences in version wise.
Thank You,
Ramesh.
