 Source serialization refers to the process of (de)serializing POCO types in consumer applications as source documents indexed and retrieved from {{es}}. A source serializer implementation handles serialization, with the default implementation using the `System.Text.Json` library. As a result, you may use `System.Text.Json` attributes and converters to control the serialization behavior.

+### Using Elasticsearch types in documents [elasticsearch-types-in-documents]
+
+There are various cases where you might have a POCO type that contains an `Elastic.Clients.Elasticsearch` type as one of its properties.
+
+For example, consider if you want to use percolation; you need to store {{es}} queries as part of the `_source` of your document, which means you need to have a POCO that looks like this:
+
+```csharp
+using Elastic.Clients.Elasticsearch.QueryDsl;
+using Elastic.Clients.Elasticsearch.Serialization;
+
+public class MyPercolationDocument
+{
+    [JsonConverter(typeof(RequestResponseConverter<Query>))] <2>
+    public Query Query { get; set; } <2>
+
+    public string Category { get; set; }
+}
+```
+
+1. The `Query` property uses the `Elastic.Clients.Elasticsearch.QueryDsl.Query` Elasticsearch type.
+2. The `JsonConverter` attribute specifies the `RequestResponseConverter<T>` to be used for the `Query` property. This special converter instructs the `DefaultSourceSerializer` to delegate (de-)serialization to the `RequestResponseSerializer`.
+
+::::{warning}
+
+Failure to strictly use `RequestResponseConverter<T>` for `Elastic.Clients.Elasticsearch` types will most likely result in problems with document (de-)serialization.

 ## Customizing source serialization [customizing-source-serialization]
 
 The built-in source serializer handles most POCO document models correctly. Sometimes, you may need further control over how your types are serialized.
