Hello all, I'm querying elasticsearch through its rest interface and getting a json result. I wonder if there is a common way to map returning json string into SearchResponse object which is available in Java API. I've found SearchResponse.readFromResponse() and readFrom() methods. So far I couldn't make them work and while doing some research I've also found kimchy saying 'There is no way to parse a json to a SearchResponse' in this thread : [http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/From-JSON-to-Java-API-and-back-td2655285.html](http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/From-JSON-to-Java-API-and-back-td2655285.html) Can someone clarify this issue for me? Thank you aykut ---

I don't understand. Why don't you use Search Java API directly ?

Decision of using REST is made a little time ago. It's part of a large project and I'm doing some research about mapping options. I just wondered if there is a way to use Java API domain objects like SearchResponse for mapping the response json since it already has the structure that we need.

Hi Aykut, We are working on a rest client based on Java. It has it's own API and also it has a bridge that can be plugged to native Java API, so you can use it as is over a rest endpoint. BUT it is not ready for production though give us some weeks it will be alpha 🙂 Checkout source code you will find some tricks about your question. > **[GitHub - searchbox-io/Jest: Elasticsearch Java Rest Client.](https://github.com/searchbox-io/Jest)** > > Elasticsearch Java Rest Client.
