Indexing Multilevel JSON Objects in Lucene

Question

I am new to Lucene. I have worked on Lucene search using field value pairs in documents. Now there is a requirement to parse some JSON files and Index them up for Lucene search. I have an idea on working with simple form of JSON file according to this article .

But the JSON Structure I have to work with is little more complex than that. Any kind of idea will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Answer 1

You basically can linearize your json and then index it as in article you've provided.

For instance, json like this:

{"key": {"hello": "world"}}

will be transformed into:

{"key.hello": "world"}
