VariationMatrix Response Group
The VariationMatrix response group returns, for a given parent ASIN, the variation dimension name and value of each child ASIN. If a returned item does not have variations, the VariationMatrix response group will not return any data. For example, rings vary by ring size. RingSize, therefore, is the dimension related to this item. The VariationMatrix response group would only return, in this example, <RingSize> elements. The VariationMatrix response group returns nothing if the returned items do not have variations. For more information, see, Returning Variation Dimension Information Only.
