JSON post encoding in Elasticsearch

Question

I want to make bulk insert in java with http post to Elasticsearch server. I initiate org.json.JSONObject from the json string, up to now everything is normal. However when I execute the post method, Elasticsearch return me that error:

MapperParsingException[failed to parse [replyContent.value]];nested: JsonParseException[Invalid UTF-8 middle byte

The string contains turkish characters such as: ü, ç, ş...

I tried this code:

JSONObject jObject=new JSONObject(new String(jsonString.toString().getBytes("ISO8859_9"), "UTF8"));

With this initialization, post has been worked, nevertheless, this time all the turkish characters were converted to ? character.

What could be the solution code for this problem, and where should it be? In initiation code of json object or when I post the json data?

Thanks

The code is; String sb= new SearchService().execute("item", dateFormat.format(date)); JSONObject jo=new JSONObject(new String(sb.getBytes("ISO8859_1"), "UTF8")); Then when I post the json, I convert it back to string again with the method toString strBuffer.append(bindings.getJSONObject(i).toString() + "\n"); — HakkiBuyukcengiz

The problem is not with elastic search but rather with json.

based on the json rfc 4627 - json string needs to be encoded as unicode, thus having

characters such as: ü, ç, ş...

is invalid json

@hakki first make sure that your string does not contain invalid characters (from json perspective), then you should be ok
