Getting Results as XML in Amazon CloudSearch

By default, Amazon CloudSearch search responses are formatted in JSON. To get results as XML, specify the query parameter format=xml in your search request:

search?q=star wars&return=_no_fields&format=xml

Search responses formatted in XML contain exactly the same information as a JSON response:

<results>
    <status rid="3abhhs8oEAqMHnk=" time-ms="2"/>
    <hits found="9" start="0">
        <hit id="tt0076759"/>
        <hit id="tt0086190"/>
        <hit id="tt0121766"/>
        <hit id="tt2488496"/>
        <hit id="tt1408101"/>
        <hit id="tt0489049"/>
        <hit id="tt0120915"/>
        <hit id="tt0080684"/>
        <hit id="tt0121765"/>
    </hits>
</results>
