If I have the following XML:

\<Article\_Keywords\>  
\< keyword\>dog\< /keyword\>  
\< keyword\>pony\< /keyword\>  
\</Article\_Keywords\>

And want to convert it to (using groovy) an elasticsearch item:

{"Article\_Keywords":["dog","pony"]}

How do i do so without the extra keyword tag:

{"Article\_Keywords":{"keyword":["dog","pony"]}}

That's not looking like an elasticsearch question but a groovy one. You should better ask in groovy forums.
