I want to push the following Json data using Python in elasticsearch, I used the following code but there is no data in the index. json data : [ "break", false, -1314177328.9280925, [ -107585784.0005331, 1173232087.3724098, [ true, -1841424252.6783514, true, "typical", true, false ], false, 1593426885.6051607, true ], "parent", false ] ![zahra](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/8/88ecc1a61a63358fcc4c3c70b4dc8f666a73ea2c.png) ---

If the json is malformed elastic will reject the document, try to use logstash http input plugin with stdout rubydbg to see what you are really sending. check if the json is well structured with an online json checker ---

There are restrictions in what JSON you can index into Elasticsearch, and what you have posted is not valid in Elasticsearch. The root bust be a well formed JSON object and can not be an array. Elasticsearch is also not schemaless, so once a field has been mapped it can not accept values that are not aligned to this mapping. ---

It is valid JSON, but not in a form Elasticsearch will accept. ---

Then please do so. You will need to learn about how Elasticsearch works if you are going to use it. The [section on mapping](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping.html) describes how document structure and mapping works, and should explain why your document will not work in Elasticsearch. ---

I can't find a document that explains what Jsons are accepted by Elasticsearch... I would be grateful if you could send me a link or a document that can help me and improve my situation. ---

I added a link to the documentation on mapping to my earlier response. A document must be an object with at least one field, e.g. `{"field:"value"}`. An array at the highest level is not acceptable. Furthermore each field must have a single mapping. Although a field can contain an array, all values within the array must be of the same type, so you can e.g. not mix strings, numbers and objects in an array. This [blog post](https://www.elastic.co/blog/a-practical-introduction-to-elasticsearch) may also be useful, although it is quite old and quite a few things have changed since. ---
