Apache Olingo is a Java library which enables developers to
implement OData service providers (server) and consumers (clients)
for OData V2 and V4.

The Open Data Protocol (OData, http://www.odata.org/) is an open protocol
to allow the creation and consumption of queryable and interoperable
RESTful APIs in a simple and standard way.

Best Regards, Michael
