Perché non usare SharePoint 2013 come solo un backend per i client di riposo / csom?

Question

Questo potrebbe sembrare un po 'estremo, ma ora che i riposo / API di CSom sono più completi, perché non solo scrivere app Web in qualunque fraticazione con cui sei a tuo agio e utilizza l'API di riposo / CSOM invece di preoccuparsi della programmazione bizantina della SPTecniche modello e di branding?Le app devono essere coinvolte affatto?Che dire delle situazioni di dominio croce?

Quindi se sono più a suo agio usando la pila MS, potrei scrivere alcune app MVC ASP.NET utilizzando l'API REST per la comunicazione lato server in C # e CSOM nel browser utilizzando JavaScript.

Answer 1

If what you want to do can be done using REST / CSOM, then by all means, go for it, that's what MS is aiming for with the app model. Not everything that can be done using Server object model & farm solutions etc. can be accomplished that way, however.

If your question is why not just use SharePoint as your back end and not use the UI and re-write a whole web app on top of that, then perhaps you should just skip SharePoint and use a DB as your back end.

Answer 2

There is a hybrid approach where you use SharePoint's documents storage, lists, workflow engine, account authentication/authorization, and web services with a highly customized UI. James Love mentions this in his comments to Igaud's answer.

I have found this approach to be very successful, especially to users who for some reason have a bad taste in their mouth from a previous, poorly architected SharePoint deployment. This approach gives the developers full control over the UI and can really increase perceived performance while helping the developers to rapidly develop highly customized line-of-business applications without having to build their own services, account management, content management systems.

With PS2013 and app model, you are essentially building a solution outside of SharePoint (provider hosted, or auto hosted) and then utilize the OAuth and cross-domain integration infrastructure to access SharePoint data. You could use any technology stack that you want here, and then rely on either JavaScript CSOM or SP REST API to accomplish your goals.
If you goal is just to build a data driven application, then SharePoint should be your persistence layer just because; it's a huge overkill.
