Splunk Search

Data not coming in JSON format from Splunk Javascript sdk

I am querying Splunk using javascript SDK. In the searchParams, i have given the output mode as "json_rows".

var searchParams = {
    exec_mode: "normal",
    output_mode: "json_rows"
};

Any idea what is going wrong? I tried "json_cols" and only "json" also. Same result.

Thanks in advance.

The docs are not very clear on this so I'm not really sure, but have you tried capitals?

"output_mode: Specifies the output format of the results (XML, JSON, JSON_COLS, JSON_ROWS, CSV, ATOM, or RAW)."
