title: Which is the better client for Solr + PHP?
body: <p>I have two options </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.solr.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.solr.php</a></li>
  <li><a href="http://code.google.com/p/solr-php-client/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://code.google.com/p/solr-php-client/</a></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I read it somewhere that that 2) use JSON as output types whereas 1) use XML doc. </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Isn't that a property of Solr which returns doc both in JSON and XML?</li>
  <li>What other features do I have to consider before deciding? </li>
  </ol>
