    • createParser

      public static org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContentParser createParser(org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContentParserConfiguration config, BytesReference bytes, org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContentType xContentType) throws IOException
      Creates a parser for the bytes using the supplied content-type
      Throws:
      IOException
    • convertToMap

      @Deprecated public static org.elasticsearch.core.Tuple<org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContentType,Map<String,Object>> convertToMap(BytesReference bytes, boolean ordered) throws ElasticsearchParseException
      Deprecated.
      this method relies on auto-detection of content type. Use convertToMap(BytesReference, boolean, XContentType) instead with the proper XContentType
      Converts the given bytes into a map that is optionally ordered.

      Important: This can lose precision on numbers with a decimal point. It converts numbers like "n": 1234.567 to a double which only has 52 bits of precision in the mantissa. This will come up most frequently when folks write nanosecond precision dates as a decimal number.

      Throws:
      ElasticsearchParseException
    • convertToMap

      public static org.elasticsearch.core.Tuple<org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContentType,Map<String,Object>> convertToMap(BytesReference bytes, boolean ordered, org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContentType xContentType)
      Exactly the same as convertToMap(BytesReference, boolean, XContentType, Set, Set) but none of the fields are filtered
    • convertToMap

      public static org.elasticsearch.core.Tuple<org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContentType,Map<String,Object>> convertToMap(BytesReference bytes, boolean ordered, org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContentType xContentType, @Nullable Set<String> include, @Nullable Set<String> exclude) throws ElasticsearchParseException
      Converts the given bytes into a map that is optionally ordered. The provided XContentType must be non-null.

      Important: This can lose precision on numbers with a decimal point. It converts numbers like "n": 1234.567 to a double which only has 52 bits of precision in the mantissa. This will come up most frequently when folks write nanosecond precision dates as a decimal number.

      Throws:
      ElasticsearchParseException
    • convertToMap

      public static Map<String,Object> convertToMap(org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContent xContent, String string, boolean ordered) throws ElasticsearchParseException
      Convert a string in some XContent format to a Map. Throws an ElasticsearchParseException if there is any error.
      Throws:
      ElasticsearchParseException
    • convertToMap

      public static Map<String,Object> convertToMap(org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContent xContent, InputStream input, boolean ordered) throws ElasticsearchParseException

      Throws:
      ElasticsearchParseException
    • convertToMap

      public static Map<String,Object> convertToMap(org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContent xContent, InputStream input, boolean ordered, @Nullable Set<String> include, @Nullable Set<String> exclude) throws ElasticsearchParseException
      Convert a string in some XContent format to a Map. Throws an ElasticsearchParseException if there is any error. Note that unlike convertToMap(BytesReference, boolean), this doesn't automatically uncompress the input. Additionally, fields may be included or excluded from the parsing.
      Throws:
      ElasticsearchParseException
    • convertToMap

      Throws:
      ElasticsearchParseException
    • convertToMap

      public static Map<String,Object> convertToMap(org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContent xContent, byte[] bytes, int offset, int length, boolean ordered, @Nullable Set<String> include, @Nullable Set<String> exclude) throws ElasticsearchParseException
      Convert a byte array in some XContent format to a Map. Throws an ElasticsearchParseException if there is any error. Note that unlike convertToMap(BytesReference, boolean), this doesn't automatically uncompress the input. Unlike convertToMap(XContent, byte[], int, int, boolean) this optionally accepts fields to include or exclude during XContent parsing.

    • stripWhitespace

      public static String stripWhitespace(String json) throws IOException
      Accepts a JSON string, parses it and prints it without pretty-printing it. This is useful where a piece of JSON is formatted for legibility, but needs to be stripped of unnecessary whitespace e.g. for comparison in a test.
      Parameters:
      json - the JSON to format
      Returns:
      reformatted JSON
      Throws:
      IOException - if the reformatting fails, e.g. because the JSON is not well-formed
    • convertToJson

      public static String convertToJson(BytesReference bytes, boolean reformatJson, boolean prettyPrint, org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContentType xContentType) throws IOException
      Throws:
      IOException
    • update

      public static boolean update(Map<String,Object> source, Map<String,Object> changes, boolean checkUpdatesAreUnequal)
      Updates the provided changes into the source. If the key exists in the changes, it overrides the one in source unless both are Maps, in which case it recursively updated it.
      Parameters:
      source - the original map to be updated
      changes - the changes to update into updated
      checkUpdatesAreUnequal - should this method check if updates to the same key (that are not both maps) are unequal? This is just a .equals check on the objects, but that can take some time on long strings.
      Returns:
      true if the source map was modified
    • mergeDefaults

      public static void mergeDefaults(Map<String,Object> content, Map<String,Object> defaults)
      Merges the defaults provided as the second parameter into the content of the first. Only does recursive merge for inner maps.

      Deprecated.
      Writes a "raw" (bytes) field, handling cases where the bytes are compressed, and tries to optimize writing using XContentBuilder.rawField(String, InputStream).
      Throws:
      IOException

      public static void writeRawField(String field, BytesReference source, org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContentType xContentType, org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContentBuilder builder, org.elasticsearch.xcontent.ToXContent.Params params) throws IOException
      Writes a "raw" (bytes) field, handling cases where the bytes are compressed, and tries to optimize writing using XContentBuilder.rawField(String, InputStream, XContentType).
      Throws:
      IOException
    • toXContent

      public static BytesReference toXContent(org.elasticsearch.xcontent.ToXContent toXContent, org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContentType xContentType, boolean humanReadable) throws IOException

    • xContentTypeMayCompressed

      @Deprecated public static org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContentType xContentTypeMayCompressed(BytesReference bytes)
      Deprecated.
      the content type should not be guessed except for few cases where we effectively don't know the content type. The REST layer should move to reading the Content-Type header instead. There are other places where auto-detection may be needed. This method is deprecated to prevent usages of it from spreading further without specific reasons.
      Guesses the content type based on the provided bytes which may be compressed.
    • xContentType

      @Deprecated public static org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContentType xContentType(BytesReference bytes)

    • childBytes

      public static BytesReference childBytes(org.elasticsearch.xcontent.XContentParser parser) throws IOException
      Returns the contents of an object as an unparsed BytesReference This is useful for things like mappings where we're copying bytes around but don't actually need to parse their contents, and so avoids building large maps of maps unnecessarily
      Throws:
      IOException
    • writeTo
