JavaScript Client API
JavaScript client is very easy, simple, and straightforward. We don't need to create any client to connect to Solr. Also, no packages need to be installed for the JavaScript client. JavaScript sends the request to Solr using XMLHttpRequest. Solr processes the request and returns the response in JSON format, which can easily be parsed in JavaScript. We don't need to configure the wt response parameter as Solr, by default, returns the response in JSON format.
Example: Configure hostURL= http://localhost:8983/solr/techproducts/select in JavaScript as follows:
<html>
<head>

<script language="Javascript">
//main function called when clicking on search button
function search() {
//Solr search url
var hostURL='http://localhost:8983/solr/techproducts/select';
var xmlHttpReq = false;
var xmlHttpClient = this;
// Mozilla/Safari
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
xmlHttpClient.xmlHttpReq...
