clj-pat

clj-pat is a small library for getting information about postcodes in the UK. At its core, the postcode data is provided by the Ordnance Survey OS OpenData initiative, but this library is actually a thin wrapper for a web-service provided by Stuart Harrison.

This was also inspired by the Python Client for the same web-service by Edd Robinson.
