Primitive Concepts

Documents

• A way to store and organize data as a set of field-value pairs where a field acts as a unique identifier for a data point in a document and value is the data related to the given identifier

{
	<field> : <value>,
	<field> : <value>,
	<field> : <value>,
}

For example,
{
	"name" ; "Kush Gabani"
	"age" : 20,
	"email" : "[email protected]",
}

Collections

• An organized store of documents in MongoDB, usually with common fields between documents
