The get API is very similar to the :ref:`Java get API <es-guide-reference-java-api-get>`.  The main benefit of using groovy is handling the source content. It can be automatically converted to a **Map** which means using Groovy to navigate it is simple:


.. code-block:: js

    def getF = node.client.get {
        index "test"
        type "type1"
        id "1"
    }
    
    println "Result of field2: $getF.response.source.complex.field2"
