Create an External list and add a list view webpart. You will have the SharePoint user experience.

You can use SharePoint Designer as well as Visual Studio for this.

This is how to do using Visual Studio:

Create SharePoint 2013 External List using Visual Studio 2012

Create an External List Using C#

Modifying BDC Model Entity in Business Connectivity Services

  • External content types are not created just for lists but for many other services including web services.
