Hi there, is there a JSON schema for the search-API response? If not, isn't there some template which is used to build the various clients? Unfortunately, I can't remember the details and where I found this information. As last resort, what approach would you recommend for Java-Dummies? Where would be the starting point to follow the Java classes which are serialised to the JSON-reponse on github?

I don’t think so. Reading your post, I think you are basically looking for a Java client which can do Java Bean serialization / deserialization as you could have with Hibernate or similar. Actually, using Jackson is super easy to serialize your beans in JSON and vice-versa. Look here for example: [https://github.com/dadoonet/legacy-search/blob/01-direct/src/main/java/fr/pilato/demo/legacysearch/dao/ElasticsearchDao.java#L45](https://github.com/dadoonet/legacy-search/blob/01-direct/src/main/java/fr/pilato/demo/legacysearch/dao/ElasticsearchDao.java#L45) [https://github.com/dadoonet/legacy-search/blob/01-direct/src/main/java/fr/pilato/demo/legacysearch/dao/ElasticsearchDao.java#L45](https://github.com/dadoonet/legacy-search/blob/01-direct/src/main/java/fr/pilato/demo/legacysearch/dao/ElasticsearchDao.java#L45) Deserializing is like this: [https://github.com/elasticsearchfr/hands-on/blob/master/src/test/java/org/elasticsearchfr/handson/beans/BeerHelper.java#L57-63](https://github.com/elasticsearchfr/hands-on/blob/master/src/test/java/org/elasticsearchfr/handson/beans/BeerHelper.java#L57-63) [https://github.com/elasticsearchfr/hands-on/blob/master/src/test/java/org/elasticsearchfr/handson/beans/BeerHelper.java#L57-63](https://github.com/elasticsearchfr/hands-on/blob/master/src/test/java/org/elasticsearchfr/handson/beans/BeerHelper.java#L57-63) You could also have a look at Spring Data project if you are using Spring.
