The official, strongly-typed .NET client library for Elasticsearch, maintained by Elastic. It provides typed requests and responses for Elasticsearch APIs and delegates transport concerns like connection pooling and retries to Elastic.Transport.

Use cases

• query elasticsearch from a c# application
• index and search documents in elasticsearch using .net
• official elasticsearch client for dotnet
• strongly typed elasticsearch api requests in c#
• connect .net app to elastic cloud
• manage elasticsearch indices from c# code

When to choose

• you are building a .NET application that talks to Elasticsearch
• you want an officially supported client with strongly typed requests and responses
• you need compatibility with Elasticsearch 8.x/9.x from C#

When to avoid

• you use a language other than C#/.NET
• you need strict semantic versioning, since the client follows Elasticsearch versioning with possible breaking changes
• you need backward compatibility with earlier Elasticsearch major versions
