Elastica is a PHP client library for Elasticsearch that provides an object-oriented API for indexing, searching, and aggregating documents. It tracks Elasticsearch releases closely, with the 9.x branch supporting Elasticsearch 9.0+ and PHP 8.1-8.5.

Use cases

• index and search documents in elasticsearch from php
• run full-text search queries in a php application
• build aggregations and analytics over elasticsearch data
• manage elasticsearch indices and mappings from php
• add search functionality to a symfony or laravel app

When to choose

• your PHP application needs a higher-level, object-oriented Elasticsearch client
• you want a mature, actively maintained library with long-running version branches
• you need indexing, querying, and aggregation support in one package

When to avoid

• you are not using PHP
• you need a client for OpenSearch or another Elasticsearch fork
• you prefer the official low-level elasticsearch-php client
