Alternatives to JSON output, XML?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi there, we have some legacy applications that are running on a platform
with appalling JSON deserialization performance. Does anyone know of any
plugins / options for returning alternative outputs, i.e. XML?

This is for responses coming from the REST api.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Dominic,

The following plugin can be found to return simple text, HTML, XML or
whatever you want:

Hi Tanguy, thanks for the response.

I did find that but, from what I understand, this will only render
documents and pre-defined search queries. Is that not the case? What I
would like is to have all responses from ES be returned in some other
format.

There's a plugin that mocks the Solr interfaces so you can use Solr based
tools (Nutch, SolrJ, etc.) against elasticsearch. That plugin provides the
Solr XML request/response formats.

If that won't work, it wouldn't be terribly difficult to write a plugin
that returns a custom response format.

What language are you using?

I have Java code available to render XML, for example for XSL stylesheet
transformations in a Java App server front-end. Please give me an info if
you would like a release, it is using the XContent API.

Best regards,

Jörg
