Document source

Document source represents an Elasticsearch document in Kotlin. Document source is responsible for data serialization/deserialization. For example, almost all Elasticsearch data types can be multi-valued and a mapping doesn't reflect that fact. But in our programs we want to operate with concrete types, as we work differently with String or List<String>. Also all fields in a mapping are optional that requires null-checks in the code. Specifying document source we can set up proper (de)serialization of underlying data.

This is the recommended way. You can explicitly specify document source:
