The Restlet Extension for OData is part of the Restlet open
source project (www.restlet.org), a lightweight REST framework for
Java. This Restlet Extention makes it easier for Java developers to
take advantage of the Open Data (OData) protocol, initially
developed by Microsoft with WCF Data Services, a set of
features that are part of the .NET Framework. WCF
Data Services offer a simple way to expose any sort of data in a
RESTful way and is also available with Window Azure and many other
technologies (see www.odata.org
for a full list). The Restlet Extension for OData provides a
high-level client Application Programming Interface (API) that
extends the Restlet framework and give access to remote OData
Services.
The extension contains a code generator that creates proxy classes
based on the metadata exposed by the OData Services and a runtime
library that takes care of the communication between the Java
client application and the OData Services.
