Thank you for sharing Mark. I got the URL working on google chrome but when I try the same URL on other browser does not display the xml. And when I upload the code to the content editor does not work. Any ideas?

I was trying to the do the query by placing the call at the end of my url in the browser but it didn't work. "('ZipCodes')/items" Is this pulling from the default view or should I address the view I'm pulling from?

I really want to get this working. :)

I have been trying to implement this solution for a while but it's just not working out for me. I have only 2 columns App ID and App Name and the list name is Test. Please help me.

Great video! Two questions though: Is it possible to get the query to work with HTTPS? And are there any security issues with this solution?

Great video Mark!  Thanks.  Shows the functionality, then the build and back to the functionality. 

I don't know js, json, xml.  I know of them, but I don't know how to interpret the code.  This was helpful.  You referenced cdn.  What is that exactly.  I know there are different versions as well.  Which version of cdn are these files located?  Thanks.

Is there a way to keep the column data types as they are in the SharePoint list when they are brought to the data table?

I was able to get this to work using the SP2010 REST API but it will only pull 1000 items.  The list I'm using has 4500 total items.  Even using the $top=5000 parameter, it will only pull 1000 total items.  Is there a threshold setting somewhere?
