Elastic4s is a concise, type-safe, reactive Scala client for Elasticsearch built around a builder-like DSL. It supports Scala idioms like futures, Option, and typeclasses via Jackson, Circe, Json4s, PlayJson, and Spray Json modules.

Use cases

• query elasticsearch from scala with a type-safe DSL
• index and search scala case classes in elasticsearch
• run async elasticsearch requests with scala futures
• serialize domain objects to elasticsearch documents with circe or jackson
• migrate from the verbose java elasticsearch client to idiomatic scala

When to choose

• you use Scala and want compile-time-checked Elasticsearch requests
• you want Scala collections, futures, and typeclass-based JSON integration
• you prefer a concise DSL over the official Java client

When to avoid

• you are not using Scala or the JVM
• you need the official client's full feature coverage or vendor support
• you use a non-JVM language
