The native tool "psql" is commonly used.  There is a graphical front end
for windows called pgAdmin that is quite useful.

Beyond that, I'd guess ODBC and JDBC are the most common methods.

Also, the protocol between the client and the server is documented in
chapter 4 of the Developer's Guide in case you want to write your own
custom client.  I'd discourage that and stick to ODBC or JDBC for
portability of your application.
