How to send a query as String with the Java API Rest

Hello, I'm trying to send a Update request using a Query as String, but to write an query in JSON format in java, I have to use ", but the parser can't understand this characters, what could I do?

For example, having this query:

String queryString = "\"query\": {\"match_all\": {}}";

When I use this:

searchSourceBuilder.query(QueryBuilders.queryStringQuery(queryString));

I get that error:

"reason":"Cannot parse '"query": {"match_all": {}}': Encountered " ":" ": "" at line 1, column 7.\r\nWas expecting one of:\r\n .....

The query string query is not meant for that.
May be you can do something like:

searchSourceBuilder.source(json);

?

There's no such function at searchSourceBuilder

at least, not in 7.2 java api rest

Any similar one? Can't really check on my phone ATM.

You can do something like:

client.search(new SearchRequest("test").source(
        new SearchSourceBuilder().query(
                QueryBuilders.wrapperQuery("{\"match_all\":{}}")
        )
), RequestOptions.DEFAULT);
