Method naming conventionsedit
Classes in the Java API Client contain two kinds of methods and properties:
-
Methods and properties that are part of the API, such as
ElasticsearchClient.search()orSearchResponse.maxScore(). They are derived from their respective names in the Elasticsearch JSON API using the standard JavacamelCaseNamingconvention. -
Methods and properties that are part of the framework on which the Java API
Client is built, such as
Query._kind(). These methods and properties are prefixed with an underscore to both avoid any naming conflicts with API names, and as an easy way to distinguish the API from the framework.
