Add .bodyAsJson() to generic response

[dblock]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Given

            OpenSearchGenericClient genericClient = client.generic()
                .withClientOptions(ClientOptions.throwOnHttpErrors());

            try {
                System.out.println(genericClient.execute(
                    Requests.builder()
                        .endpoint(index)
                        .method("PUT")
                        .json("{}")
                        .build()
                    ).getBody().get().bodyAsString());
            } catch (OpenSearchClientException ex) {
                System.out.println(ex.response().getBody().get().bodyAsString());
            }
``

The error caught is the following JSON.

```json
{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"resource_already_exists_exception","reason":"index [movies/NKwGTlmvTw6xzs9RURZwRA] already exists","index":"movies","index_uuid":"NKwGTlmvTw6xzs9RURZwRA"}],"type":"resource_already_exists_exception","reason":"index [movies/NKwGTlmvTw6xzs9RURZwRA] already exists","index":"movies","index_uuid":"NKwGTlmvTw6xzs9RURZwRA"},"status":400}}

We'd like to extract the resource_already_exists_exception part, ie. write something like this:

  } catch (OpenSearchClientException ex) {
      ... json = ex.response().getBody().get().bodyAsJson();
      if (json.get('error').get('root_cause').get('type')...
  }

What solution would you like?

Implement Body#bodyAsJson() or .json().

What alternatives have you considered?

Deal with mappers & friends.

@reta What's the magical combination of JsonpMapper, JsonpDeserializer<ErrorCause> or maybe a more generic deserializer for my catch (OpenSearchClientException ex) { above? And another for a successful response?

[reta]

@dblock there are few options, may be the easiest one is to convert it to a map:

            Map<String, Object> responseAsMap = response.getBody()
                .map(b -> Bodies.json(b, Map.class, javaClient()._transport().jsonpMapper()))
                .orElseGet(Collections::emptyMap);

[reta]

As a follow up, we could support "generic" JSON structures, like:

• jakarta.json.JsonStructure
• com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode

(depending which mapper is configured)

JsonNode json = response.getBody()
                .map(b -> Bodies.json(b, JsonNode.class, javaClient()._transport().jsonpMapper()))
                .orElse(null);

I like the second version a lot more.

                JsonNode json = ex.response().getBody()
                    .map(b -> Bodies.json(b, JsonNode.class, client._transport().jsonpMapper()))
                    .orElse(null);
                String errorType = json.get("error").get("type").textValue();
                if (! errorType.equals("resource_already_exists_exception")) {
                    System.err.println(ex.response().getBody().get().bodyAsString());
                    throw ex;
                }

Any reason not to expose .bodyAsJson() implemented as the above that returns JsonNode?

Any reason not to expose .bodyAsJson() implemented as the above that returns JsonNode?

So at the moment, we have 2 implementations of JsonpMapper:

• JsonbJsonpMapper (Jakarta)
• JacksonJsonpMapper (Jackson)

The JsonNode would only work when JacksonJsonpMapper is used (and consequently, Jackson). JsonStructure may work for both I think but needs some work on serde level to recognize this "generic" pattern. No reasons to not have a support for that, to your point.

Can we close this with #1064 and #1083, @Jai2305, or is there work remaining?
