- Low-level client that provides a one-to-one mapping with the Elasticsearch REST API
- No dependencies
- Almost completely generated from the official REST API spec which makes it easy to keep up to date
- Comes with an integration test suite that can be generated from the YAML test definitions that the Elasticsearch core team uses to test their REST API
- Has no opinions on how you create or consume requests and responses
- Load balancing and cluster failover support
- All calls have async variants
#NEST
- High-level client that internally uses the low-level Elasticsearch.Net client
- Maps requests and responses to strongly typed objects with a fluent interface and object initializer syntax to build them
- Comes with a very powerful query DSL that maps one-to-one with Elasticsearch
- Takes advantage of .NET features where they make sense (i.e., covariant
IEnumerable<T>result types, type and index inference) - All calls have async variants
