Could you please provide me an example how I can use JSON files to elastic search. I have 4 JSON files and I would like try to use these files to do some searches to determine if Elastic Search is the best way to go. Please help! ---

You can use curl, or Logstash, or some language that lets you post documents to an API end point. ---

Is there an example where you can read JSON in a SQL database and use them in ELASTIC SEARCH? ---
