    Description
    childBytes(org.elasticsearch.common.xcontent.XContentParser parser)
    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

    • convertToMap

      @Deprecated public static org.elasticsearch.core.Tuple<org.elasticsearch.common.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

      Converts the given bytes into a map that is optionally ordered. The provided XContentType must be non-null.

    • 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

    • 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 public static org.elasticsearch.common.xcontent.XContentType xContentType(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.
    • childBytes

      public static BytesReference childBytes(org.elasticsearch.common.xcontent.XContentParser parser) throws IOException
