| Using Solr from JavaScript clients is so straightforward that it deserves a special mention. In fact, it is so straightforward that there is no client API. You don't need to install any packages or configure anything. |
| |
| HTTP requests can be sent to Solr using the standard `XMLHttpRequest` mechanism. |
| |
| By default, Solr sends <<response-writers.adoc#json-response-writer,JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) responses>>, which are easily interpreted in JavaScript. You don't need to add anything to the request URL to have responses sent as JSON. |
| |
| For more information and an excellent example, take a look at the SolJSON page on the Solr Wiki: |
