Specify the format parameter to change the output format. To see the non-HTML representation of the JSON format, set format=json.
It would be nice if format=json were a hyperlink. For example, in this case it would link to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=extracts&titles=All_I_See_%28A%2B_song%29&explaintext=1&exsentences=10&format=json.

For example, in this case it would link to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=extracts&titles=All_I_See_%28A%2B_song%29&explaintext=1&exsentences=10&format=json.
While in most cases that's probably easy enough since most cases are going to be GETs, it's not very sensible to do a hyperlink if the request was a POST.
