## What it is
Mirage is an open-source web-based GUI for composing Elasticsearch Query DSL queries using visual building blocks. It shows the corresponding JSON query in real time, supports saving and sharing queries via URL, and works with Elasticsearch 2.x through 7.x.

## Use cases
- build elasticsearch queries without writing JSON
- visually explore elasticsearch query DSL
- test and debug elasticsearch queries against an index
- share elasticsearch queries with teammates via URL
- learn elasticsearch query syntax interactively

## When to choose
- you want a visual query builder for Elasticsearch instead of hand-writing JSON
- you need to explore an index's mappings and applicable query types
- you want a lightweight alternative to Kibana's Dev Tools for query composition

## When to avoid
- you use Elasticsearch 8.x or newer
- you need full cluster management or dashboards rather than query building
- you need a actively developed tool with recent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: search-engine, gui, developer-tools
- domain: databases, developer-tools
- platform: browser, self-hosted
- tags: elasticsearch, query-builder, query-dsl, chrome-extension, kibana-alternative, search, web-server, docker
