wolframalpha-client

Java client for wolframalpha API

Build status

Known issues

Saw incorrect SSL configuration of some wolfram servers during testing causing async pod download to fail with SSL handshake exception. Seems to be fixed now, but if it would appear again - would need to implement workaround as it is described in related issues
