elasticsearch-php
=================

[](#elasticsearch-php)

Official low-level client for Elasticsearch. Its goal is to provide common ground for all Elasticsearch-related code in PHP; because of this it tries to be opinion-free and very extendable.

To maintain consistency across all the low-level clients (Ruby, Python, etc), clients accept simple associative arrays as parameters. All parameters, from the URI to the document body, are defined in the associative array.

- Load balancing (with pluggable selection strategy) across all available nodes. Defaults to round-robin
