  <p>Is there a JVM compatible client implementation?
  Or there is a possibility to retrieve this data using some other API?</p>
  
  <p>I do realise that the format is self descriptive and it is not a rocket science, but it would be great to reuse and contribute rather than writing from scratch.</p>
