Luca Cavanna commented on LUCENE-4906:
--------------------------------------

I see! If you couldn't make it how can I make it? :)

But the idea is that you could have some kind of object as output instead of a 
string, like for example an array of tokens plus maybe some more information?

It would avoid to parse again the string output and somehow re-analyze the text 
as needed to have a snippet that we could provide as output directly?

> For example, in a server, I may want to render the highlight result to 
> JsonObject to send back to the front-end. Today since we render to string, I 
> have to render to JSON string and then re-parse to JsonObject, which is 
> inefficient...
> Or, if (Rob's idea:) we make a query that's like MoreLikeThis but it pulls 
> terms from snippets instead, so you get proximity-influenced salient/expanded 
> terms, then perhaps that renders to just an array of tokens or fragments or 
> something from each snippet.
