Hi,
You can easily insert this message out in ES. Before inserting, you need to be sure of whether you want an `object` or `nested` type for the field `OrgDetailsLst`. The same document can than be inserted.
You can use ES index API ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-index\_.html#\_create\_document\_ids\_automatically](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-index_.html#_create_document_ids_automatically)) for inserting.
```auto
{
"OrgDetailsLst" : [
{
"EntityId" : 3,
"EntityDetailCode" : 0,
"EntityName" : "PlantCode",
"EntityCode" : "DRES",
"Level" : 0
},
{
"EntityId" : 5,
"EntityDetailCode" : 0,
"EntityName" : "CompanyCode",
"EntityCode" : "0061",
"Level" : 0
}
]
}
```

Make sure you apply the mappings first with `nested`. By default `object` types will get created.
