Json direct to Java class?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi,

I've been using XContentBuilder within the Java API to index
documents. Is there a corresponding way to populate objects with JSON
data? E.g. in Gson you can say

BagOfPrimitives obj2 = gson.fromJson(json, BagOfPrimitives.class);

Thanks

So you can use gson, or Jackson which is embedded in ES or your own version of Jackson.

XContentBuilder is nice when you don't need to serialize/deserialize beans.

You can use Jackson to serialize java to json and vice-versa.

The json will have to be converted to byte array for better performance.

Feel free to read

You can browse the code source (focus on SearchEngineImpl) for a working
example.

Cheers,
