The response is made up of a feed element which contains some metadata about the feed followed by a series of entry elements. Each entry is made up of some metadata followed by a content element. Inside the content element is a ContactListMember element which describes some of the important attributes of a particular contact.
Note that in order to get all the data about a particular contact, you must get the individual contact entry, which contains the complete contact data.
