## What it is
Spring Data Elasticsearch is part of the Spring Data umbrella, providing a familiar Spring-based programming model for Elasticsearch. It offers template classes, annotation-driven object mapping, and repository-style data access for Elasticsearch documents.

## Use cases
- integrate elasticsearch into a spring boot application
- map java pojos to elasticsearch documents
- write repository interfaces for elasticsearch queries
- use reactive elasticsearch clients in spring
- run custom elasticsearch queries from spring repositories
- configure elasticsearch http clients in spring

## When to choose
- you are building a Spring or Spring Boot application backed by Elasticsearch
- you want repository-style data access and POJO mapping instead of raw Elasticsearch clients
- you need reactive Elasticsearch support in a Spring WebFlux app

## When to avoid
- you are not using the Spring ecosystem
- you need direct, low-level control over the Elasticsearch REST API
- you use a different search engine such as OpenSearch without compatibility checks

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: database-driver, orm, search-engine, http-client
- domain: databases, backend, developer-tools
- platform: jvm
- tags: spring-data, elasticsearch, repository-pattern, object-mapping, reactive, search
