What is CSOM?
CSOM, or Client Side Object Model, is a set of APIs provided by Microsoft that allows developers to interact with SharePoint and other Microsoft services from remote applications. It enables developers to perform operations like creating lists, adding items, updating data, and managing permissions without requiring server-side code. CSOM is commonly used in .NET, JavaScript, and other environments to build custom applications that extend SharePoint functionality.
What other technologies are related to CSOM?
CSOM Competitor Technologies
SSOM
SSOM (Server Side Object Model) is a server-side technology used to develop SharePoint solutions directly on the server. CSOM is preferred for client-side development because it can be used remotely and does not require server access.
Visual Web Part
No summary available
Visual Web Parts are a server-side technology that allows developers to create custom web parts using .NET code. It's a server-side equivalent that achieves similar results to CSOM but is generally considered a legacy approach.
SharePoint REST API
The SharePoint REST API provides an alternative way to interact with SharePoint data from client-side applications, offering similar functionality to CSOM but using standard RESTful web service calls. Many modern solutions prefer REST API over CSOM.
Nintex
Nintex is a third-party workflow automation platform that integrates with SharePoint. It provides an alternative to using CSOM to develop custom workflows.
InfoPath
InfoPath is a deprecated forms technology that was previously used with SharePoint. Microsoft Power Apps is the designated successor to Infopath.
Microsoft Power Apps
Power Apps provides a low-code/no-code platform for building custom applications that can interact with SharePoint data. While Power Apps can connect to SharePoint, they represent an alternative approach to building solutions compared to traditional CSOM-based development.
Power Automate
Power Automate allows users to create automated workflows that can interact with SharePoint and other services. While Power Automate can connect to SharePoint and perform operations, it's often used as an alternative to custom CSOM-based workflows.
MS Graph
Microsoft Graph provides a unified API to access data across Microsoft 365 services, including SharePoint. While CSOM is SharePoint-specific, MS Graph offers a broader scope and can be used as an alternative way to interact with SharePoint data.

CSOM Complementary Technologies
JSOM
JSOM (JavaScript Object Model) provides a client-side way to interact with SharePoint data and functionalities, much like CSOM, but it is for use in JavaScript contexts, whereas CSOM is broader. JSOM works hand-in-hand with CSOM concepts, enabling client-side scripts to perform operations analogous to server-side CSOM code.
SPFx
SharePoint Framework (SPFx) is a modern framework for building client-side SharePoint solutions. SPFx components often utilize CSOM to interact with SharePoint data and functionalities, therefore complementing CSOM usage.
PnP
PnP (Patterns and Practices) provides libraries and tools that simplify working with CSOM (and other SharePoint technologies). PnP provides helper methods and extensions that make CSOM code easier to write and maintain.
