Add to  Yi-lun's comment:

For .NET, there is "Data Service Client Library" for consuming OData Service:

#WCF Data Services Client Library

And if you use Visual Studio, you can simply use "Add ServiceReference" dialog against the metadata of the target OData service to generate client proxy types:


#Add Service Reference Dialog Box

or you can also use the DataSvcUtil.exe commandline tool:
