Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Solr Wiki" for change notification.
The following page has been changed by YonikSeeley: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolRuby The comment on the change is: ruby response format ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + == Using Solr's Ruby output == + Solr has an optional Ruby response format that extends its JSON output in the following ways to allow the response to be safely eval'd by Ruby's interpreter: + * Ruby's single quoted strings are used to prevent possible string exploits + * \ and ' are the only two characters escaped... + * unicode escapes not used... data is written as raw UTF-8 + * nil used for null + * => used as the key/value separator in maps + + + Here is a simple example of how one may query Solr using the Ruby response format: + + {{{ + require 'net/http' + + h = Net::HTTP.new('localhost', 8983) + hresp, data = h.get('/solr/select?q=iPod&wt=ruby', nil) + rsp = eval(data) + + puts 'number of matches = ' + rsp['response']['numFound'].to_s + #print out the name field for each returned document + rsp['response']['docs'].each { |doc| puts 'name field = ' + doc['name'] } + }}} + + + == Ruby on Rails == In Ruby on Rails, the concept of models can extend beyond a local database. As SOLR functions as a web service, it makes sense to have Ruby query the SOLR web service, parse the returned XML document, and have the data work in the same fashion as a database model would. Bindings for integration into Rails: (not finished)
