This post demonstrates how to use JSON with DataStax Enterprise (DSE) Search using simple methods, eliminating the need for complex techniques like Field Input Transformers (FIT). The example provided uses DSE 5.0.3 and covers three approaches to working with JSON: feeding a simple JSON string directly into Apache Cassandra™, using a Tuple or User-Defined Type (UDT) in a JSON-like approach, and inserting full JSON data containing Tuple/UDTs. The post also shows how to retrieve results as JSON.
