For the query string, you don’t have to implement your own DSL. Elasticsearch supports it out of the box. You could POST a JSON object to “/_search” but you can also do a GET with the “q” query parameter.

Documentation: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/curr...

In the Golang library you can use the “Search.WithQuery” option. This means you don’t have to construct a JSON request body.

Here’s an example: https://github.com/taythebot/archer/blob/main/pkg/elasticsea...

The Elasticsearch Golang library is a real pain to use. It was meant as a low level library so they didn’t add any types. However they are currently working on a typed client! The documentation is a bit lacking but going through go.dev you can find all the methods you need. This still means you need to JSON decode the response, but it helps you build queries, which is a step up.
