Apache Olingo is an Apache Top Level project which offers libraries in 
Java and JavaScript which enable developers to implement
OData producers and OData consumers.

The Open Data Protocol (OData, http://odata.org) is a Web protocol for
querying and updating data that provides a way to unlock your data and
free it from silos that exist in applications today. OData does this
by applying and building upon Web technologies such as HTTP, Atom
Publishing Protocol (AtomPub) and JSON to provide access to
information from a variety of applications, services, and stores.
