I want to save this kind of data as a **string** in elasticsearch, but it fails to save

`[{"flag":0,"amt":0,"code":1,"start":0,"end":0,"phrase":"they "},{"flag":0,"amt":0,"code":1,"start":0,"end":0,"phrase":"they qwe "},{"flag":0,"amt":-0.6811887,"code":0.5060151,"start":0,"end":0,"phrase":"i\\'m "},{"flag":0,"amt":0,"code":1,"start":0,"end":0,"phrase":"i\\'m sd "},{"flag":0,"amt":-0.6072952,"code":0.5448225,"start":0,"end":0,"phrase":"i\\'m sd whatevrt "},{"flag":0,"amt":-0.8052968,"code":0.44695523,"start":0,"end":0,"phrase":"i\\'m sd whatevrt um "},{"flag":0,"amt":0,"code":1,"start":0,"end":0,"phrase":"i\\'m sd whatevrt um mabe "},{"flag":0,"amt":0,"code":1,"start":0,"end":0,"phrase":"i\\'m sd whatevrt um mabe with "},{"flag":0,"amt":0,"code":1,"start":0,"end":0,"phrase":"i\\'m sd whatevrt um mabe with pool "},{"flag":0,"amt":0,"code":1,"start":0,"end":0,"phrase":"no "}]`

I tried the following mapping  
`"data": { "type": "object", "enabled": false },`

But didn't worked.

I am getting the following error while saving.

`"Unexpected character ('f' (code 102)): was expecting comma to separate Object entries\n at [Source: org.elasticsearch.common.bytes.AbstractBytesReference$MarkSupportingStreamInputWrapper@31222dc0; line: 3, column: 19]"`

Thanks in advance.
