Hi, The API uses SOAP, so all messages (besides some reporting calls) are formatted as XML.
However, our client libraries <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/clientlibraries> take care of generating the SOAP XML messages for you -- you simply work with objects such as *Campaigns*, *AdGroups*, and *Keywords*, and the client library translates that into the appropriate XML messages and API calls. If you haven't seen it already, please check out our guide on generating targeting ideas <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/targeting-idea-service>, which includes a link to code samples for each client library.
