Many programming environments are able to send HTTP requests and retrieve responses. Parsing the responses is a slightly more thorny problem. Fortunately, Solr makes it easy to choose an output format that will be easy to handle on the client side.
Specify a response format using the wt parameter in a query. The available response formats are documented in Response Writers.
Most client APIs hide this detail for you, so for many types of client applications, you won’t ever have to specify a wt parameter. In JavaScript, however, the interface to Solr is a little closer to the metal, so you will need to add this parameter yourself.
We welcome feedback on Solr documentation. However, we cannot provide application support via comments. If you need help, please send a message to the Solr User mailing list.
