=== ES|QL in the Go client
++++
<titleabbrev>Using ES|QL</titleabbrev>
++++

This page helps you understand and use {ref}/esql.html[ES|QL] in the
Go client.

There are two ways to use ES|QL in the Go client:

* Use the Elasticsearch {es-docs}/esql-apis.html[ES|QL API] directly: This
is the most flexible approach, but it's also the most complex because you must handle
results in their raw form. You can choose the precise format of results,
such as JSON, CSV, or text.
* Use ES|QL mapping helpers: These mappers take care of parsing the raw
response into something readily usable by the application. Helpers are
available for object mapping and iterative objects.

[[esql-how-to]]
==== How to use the ES|QL API

The {es-docs}/esql-query-api.html[ES|QL query API] allows you to specify how
results should be returned. You can choose a
{es-docs}/esql-rest.html#esql-rest-format[response format] such as CSV, text, or
JSON, then fine-tune it with parameters like column separators
and locale.

The following example gets ES|QL results as CSV and parses them:

[source,go]
------------------------------------
queryAuthor := `from library
| where author == "Isaac Asimov"
| sort release_date desc
| limit 10`
response, err := client.Esql.Query().
Query(queryAuthor).
Format("csv").
Do(context.Background())
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
reader := csv.NewReader(bytes.NewReader(response))
rows, err := reader.ReadAll()
for _, row := range rows {
fmt.Println(row)
}
------------------------------------

[[esql-consume-results]]
==== Consume ES|QL results

The previous example showed that although the raw ES|QL API offers maximum
flexibility, additional work is required in order to make use of the
result data.

To simplify things, try working with these two main representations of ES|QL
results (each with its own mapping helper):

* **Objects**, where each row in the results is mapped to an object from your
application domain. This is similar to what ORMs (object relational mappers)
commonly do.

[source,go]
------------------------------------
package main
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"log"
"github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch/v8"
"github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch/v8/typedapi/esql/query"
)
type Book struct {
Name string `json:"name"`
Author string `json:"author"`
ReleaseDate string `json:"release_date"`
PageCount int `json:"page_count"`
}
func main() {
client, err := elasticsearch.NewTypedClient(elasticsearch.Config{Addresses: []string{"ELASTICSEARCH_URL"}})
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
queryAuthor := `from library
| where author == "Isaac Asimov"
| sort release_date desc
| limit 10`
qry := client.Esql.Query().Query(queryAuthor)
books, err := query.Helper[Book](context.Background(), qry)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
for _, book := range books {
fmt.Println(book)
}
}
------------------------------------

* **Iterative Objects**, where each row in the results is mapped to an object from your
application domain, one at a time.

[source,go]
------------------------------------
queryAuthor := `from library
| where author == "Isaac Asimov"
| sort release_date desc
| limit 10`
qry := client.Esql.Query().Query(queryAuthor)
books, err := query.NewIteratorHelper[Book](context.Background(), qry)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
for books.More() {
book, err := books.Next()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Println(book)
}
