140 Chapter 5: XML Results Reference
If there is no data available for a tag that would normally be returned in response to an API, the
tag isn’t returned. In the previous example, if the calling application didn’t specify a logged-in
user, there would be no
user tag in the returned results.
When your web application receives the returned XML code, it must parse the code to determine
what the returned values are. For examples, see Chapter 3, “Common Tasks,” on page 27.
