The official Elasticsearch client library for Node.js, maintained by Elastic. It provides a one-to-one mapping to the Elasticsearch REST API with TypeScript support, connection pooling, load balancing, and pluggable architecture.
Use cases
- connect to elasticsearch from node.js
- index and search documents in elasticsearch
- build search functionality in a node app
- query elasticsearch with typescript
- manage elasticsearch indices programmatically
- integrate elasticsearch into a node.js backend
When to choose
- you use Elasticsearch from a Node.js or TypeScript application
- you want an officially supported client with full REST API coverage
- you need cluster node discovery, retries, and load balancing out of the box
When to avoid
- you use a language other than JavaScript/Node.js (use the official client for that language)
- you need a raw HTTP client with no Elasticsearch abstraction
- you target an Elasticsearch version with no matching client branch
