Node and the browser

elasticsearch.js works great in node, as well as modern browsers (many thanks to browserify!!).

• Browsers (see browser builds):

Install in Node

npm install --save elasticsearch

Browser Builds

Download one of these browser-ready builds, or install them with bower

NOTE: The entire API is compatible with IE 10+, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera. IE 8 & 9 only support GET and POST requests cross-domain which is how the XhrConnection class makes it's requests.
