If you are a python user, there is a decent library PyHive from Dropbox. PrestoDB site lists a collection of different Presto clients.

However, all of them are wrappers on top of Presto REST API with high-level API support.

The best interface for UI programming is the Presto REST interface. At Facebook we use this REST interface directly in PHP, Python and R for everything from graphical dashboards to statistical analysis. We are working on formal documentation for the REST interface, but for now the best documentation is here:

https://gist.github.com/electrum/7710544

BTW, the current JDBC driver is just a thin wrapper around the Presto REST interface and is really just a prototype. We are working on improving the driver for an internal project at FB, so expect it to become much better over the next few months.
