You are not looking at JSON data -- you are looking at a simple "toString" value from the QueryResponse java object. It's not intended to be used for anything beyond debugging. if you want the raw JSON data from Solr, then you should either *not* use SolrJ (most of that code is for parsing hte response into Java objects and you aparently don't want that) ... or: you should specify your own ResponseParser that will give you access to the raw stream of JSON... class YourRawResponseParser extends ResponseParser { // ... processResponse(InputStream body, String encoding) { // ... // do some JSON processing of body // ... } } But this assumes you want the raw JSON values returned by Solr -- previously you mentioned that you were trying to *create* JSON using the data returned by Solr using a JSON generating library -- in which case you may in fact waht to use Solr's binary response format, get the structured java object response, and then walk it pulling out just the pieces of data fro mthe response you want, and pass those specific values to your JSON generation library. It's hard to tell, because you haven't really elaborated on what it is you are trying to do -- all you've made clear is that that you are getting invalid JSON from a method that has never ever been ment to return JSON... https://people.apache.org/~hossman/#xyproblem XY Problem Your question appears to be an "XY Problem" ... that is: you are dealing with "X", you are assuming "Y" will help you, and you are asking about "Y" without giving more details about the "X" so that we can understand the full issue. Perhaps the best solution doesn't involve "Y" at all? See Also: http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=542341 -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
