How to get only the ‘_source’ part of the hits. of the result

[Muna]

is there any way to get only the '_source' part of the result of the query .

Like from below result i want only the source part from the hits.

{
"took" : 0,
"timed_out" : false,
"_shards" : {
"total" : 5,
"successful" : 5,
"skipped" : 0,
"failed" : 0
},
"hits" : {
"total" : 1,
"max_score" : 1.0,
"hits" : [
{
"_index" : "abc",
"_type" : "abc",
"_id" : "13",
"_score" : 1.0,
"_source" : {
"abc":125
}
}
]
}
}

As you might have more than one hit, it must be an array.
You need to do this transformation in your application.

If you know the id of the document (and you are not searching) then you can do it.
