Connecting a .

NET app with Databricks SQL using REST API typically involves the
following architecture:

1. Client application: This is the .NET app that needs to connect to Databricks
SQL. The app can be developed using any .NET framework, such as .NET Core
or .NET Framework.
2. REST API endpoint: Databricks SQL provides a REST API endpoint that allows
you to perform various operations, such as querying data and managing
database objects. You can access this endpoint using an HTTP client library,
such as HttpClient in .NET.
3. Authentication: To access the REST API endpoint, you need to authenticate
your requests using an access token. Databricks SQL provides several
authentication methods, such as Azure Active Directory (AAD) and personal
access tokens (PATs). You can use any of these methods to authenticate your
requests.
4. HTTP requests and responses: The client application sends HTTP requests to
the REST API endpoint and receives HTTP responses in return. The requests
and responses are typically in JSON format, which is a lightweight data
interchange format.
5. Data serialization and deserialization: The client application needs to serialize
data into JSON format before sending it to the REST API endpoint and
deserialize the JSON responses into .NET objects. You can use libraries such as
Newtonsoft.Json for this purpose.
6. Error handling: The client application needs to handle errors that can occur
during the API requests. Databricks SQL REST API provides detailed error
messages in the JSON responses, which can be used to identify and handle
errors.

Overall, the architecture of connecting a .NET app with Databricks SQL using REST
API involves sending HTTP requests to the REST API endpoint, handling the
responses, and serializing and deserializing data in JSON format. Authentication and
error handling are also important aspects of this architecture.
