Hello,

I did an index in JSON with elasticsearch, (no problem with this). But I need do an web based application and I can't understand how I need to do that.

Thank you.

You can build your own application which will use

```
GET _search

```

Endpoint.

Or you can start Kibana which is a UI for elasticsearch.

But if I do that with Kibana the UI can be in REACT?

Not sure I understand.

If you want to build a React application, well, build it. Just call elasticsearch Rest endpoints.

If you want to use an existing UI, start Kibana.
