CAML Query

Thanks to React, in the SharePoint stack we're switching entirely to the REST API and no longer using CSOM.

An xml-based query language. Heavily used in SharePoint (CSOM) for writing data queries in data retrieval web parts. Nothing complicated about it.

Examples

<Query>
  <Where>
    <Eq>
      <FieldRef Name="Title" />
      <Value Type="Text">Test</Value>
    </Eq>
  </Where>
</Query>

<Query>
  <Where>
    <And>
      <Geq>
        <FieldRef Name="Created" />
        <Value Type="DateTime" IncludeTimeValue="FALSE">2012-01-01T00:00:00Z</Value>
      </Geq>
      <Leq>
        <FieldRef Name="Created" />
        <Value Type="DateTime" IncludeTimeValue="FALSE">2012-01-31T23:59:59Z</Value>
      </Leq>
    </And>
  </Where>
</Query>
