//[[restapi:start|RESTful API]]//

====== The Response XML ======

Basically, all API methods will respond with the same XML structure, we have divided this structure in two parts, a non changing **//- static part -//**, and a **//- dynamic part -//** that contains special information about the method per se, this last one will always be inside the <color red>//<result>//</color> tag. 
==== Basic XML Structure ====

<code xml>

<!-- static part starts -->
<input> . . . </input>
<status> . . . </status>
<description> . . . </description>
<!-- static part ends -->

<!-- dynamic part starts -->
<result>
 . . . 
</result>
<!-- dynamic part ends -->

</code>

The **//static part//** gives information about the call per se, it was well formed? did it executed ok?. This information will save you execution time by letting easily check the method status.

Once we know that the method was executed properly we can process the response by reading the **//dynamic part//** contained in the <color red>//<result>//</color> tag.
