I have two qestion  
1- I want to get mapping of an Index in a map as "Map\<String, Object\>", i successfully get the GetMappingResponse but from there not getting what to do in order to get mapping as a "Map\<String, Object\>",

```auto
GetMappingResponse mappingResponse = getElasticsearchClient().indices().getMapping(getMappingRequestBuilder-> getMappingRequestBuilder.index("indexname"));

```

2, if i have "JsonData" that contains mapping , how can i get "Map\<String, Object\>", from it ?

Hi @ijaxahmed

with code below you have access to the map of property.

> Map\<String, Property\> map = getMappingResponse.get("indexname").mappings().properties();

Thank you @RabBit_BR for that , But i am specifically looking for Map of Object like this "Map\<String, Object\>", because I have another "Map\<String, Object\>" from a mapping json file and i want to compare both for differences.Actually I want to compare mapping of index with another mapping file
