How to query for some key in json

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello all,

I am thinking how to index json doc so that I can query by a key
value. Any good idea?

Like this:
the docs look like
{"foo":"bar baz", "foo":"bar"}

how to query all docs have "bar" for key "foo"?

Thanks!

Use a MatchQuery Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic

or TermQuery

Sorry for my express is not clear.

I mean how to query the key if the json is one field of the doc.
like:
{
foo:bar,
jfoo:{k1:abc, k2:v2},
}

how to match docs with k1=abc?

Hi,

Assuming that you've indexed the document as a dynamic object, which
is the default of you do:

curl -XPUT localhost:9200/test/test/1 -d '{
"foo": "bar",
"jfoo": { "k1":"abc", "k2": "v2"}
}'

By the way, you can check the mapping afterwards to confirm and in
this case you should get something like this:

curl -XGET localhost:9200/test/test/_mapping?pretty=true
{
"test" : {
"properties" : {
"foo" : {
"type" : "string"
},
"jfoo" : {
"dynamic" : "true",
"properties" : {
"k1" : {
"type" : "string"
},
"k2" : {
"type" : "string"
}
}
}
}
}
}

Then, if you want to search for the string "abc" at the field "k1"
under "jfoo:, you could still use a term or match query, like David
suggested:

curl -XPOST localhost:9200/test/test/_search?pretty=true -d '{
"query": {
"term": {
"jfoo.k1": "abc"
}
}
}'

If you just want to get all the docs that have the "k1" field under
"jfoo", then you can use an Exists filter:

Like this:
curl -XPOST localhost:9200/test/test/_search?pretty=true -d '{
"filter": {
"exists": {
"field": "jfoo.k1"
}
}
}'

Best regards,
Radu
