You can use the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Web API with a wide variety of programming languages or libraries. The Microsoft Dynamics 365 SDK provides a matrix of samples demonstrating how to use the Web API in a number of different ways. This topic introduces the samples available for each group of operations and how to perform these operations using different languages or libraries.

Web API Sample Matrix

The following table describes the Dynamics 365 Web API samples and their language-specific implementations.

Language-neutral description	C# implementation	Client-side JavaScript implementation
Web API Samples (this topic)	Web API Samples (C#)	Web API Samples (Client-side JavaScript)
Web API Basic Operations Sample	Web API Basic Operations Sample (C#)	Web API Basic Operations Sample (Client-side JavaScript)
Web API Query Data Sample	Web API Query Data Sample (C#)	Web API Query Data Sample (Client-side JavaScript)
Web API Conditional Operations Sample	Web API Conditional Operations Sample (C#)	Web API Conditional Operations Sample (Client-side JavaScript)
Web API Functions and Actions Sample	Web API Functions and Actions Sample (C#)	Web API Functions and Actions Sample (Client-side JavaScript)

The following tables categorize the sample topics by the groups of operations demonstrated and by implementation issues.

Groups of operations

The following table classifies the samples by demonstrated operation groups.

Group	Description
