UW-Open-Data-API

A Java Client Library for the University of Waterloo Open Data API. The Library fetches data from the UW Open Data servers, parses the reuslts, and wraps them into pretty Java objects for you to use.

Setup

The Library uses org.json to parse JSON results. It must be included in your project for the library to work. A download to the version used in this library can be found here.
