Open Java API for OLAP - olap4j

Posted in SSAS Tools

olap4j is an open Java API for OLAP. Think of it like JDBC, but for accessing multi-dimensional data. olap4j is a common API for any OLAP server, so you can write an analytic application on one server and easily switch it to another. Built on that API, there is a growing collection of tools and components.

Olap4j is distributed as four Java JAR libraries.
