Response Data Formatsedit
While the textual format is nice for humans, computers prefer something more structured.
Elasticsearch SQL can return the data in the following formats which can be set
either through the format
property in the URL or by setting the Accept
HTTP header:
The URL parameter takes precedence over the Accept
HTTP header.
If neither is specified then the response is returned in the same format as the request.
