Output structure

The XML result has the root element rxtermsdata. It is described in the XML Schema for the RxTerms API; the relevant element structure is summarized below. Elements that would be empty might be left out.
The JSON result is an object {...}, analogous to the content of the XML rxtermsdata. Fields that might occur multiple times in the XML are expressed as an array. Fields that would be empty might be null or left out. Numbers are expressed as strings.
Both XML and JSON results follow the same outline:
- rxtermsdata

- rxtermsVersion
- RxTerms data set version ("RxTermsYYYYMM")
