The biggest difference between them is all about where the filter logic gets executes. incase of IEnumerable filter logic gets executed at the client-side. incase of IQueryable filter logic gets executed at the database side by using SQL.
- Both IEnumerable and IQueryable are interfaces to dot net collection.
- IQueryable interface inherits IEnumerable (simple we can say whatever the things IEnumerable can do IQueryable also can do ).
- But there are some things that IQueryable can do but IEnumerable will not be able to do it.
- But one big difference is where the filter logic gets to execute.
- IQueryable good compare to IEnumerable
- if you don't use in-memory collection then go for IQueryable
So As a practice, if you are working in-memory data collections. which means that collection no connection with RDBMS then it is better than using the IEnumerable.
But if you work with a collection which connected to the database then IQueryable is a good choice.
- If you use IQueryable then it reduces the network traffic.
