Document Type

• Document Type in NoSQL refers to a model of data that is typically composed of key-value pairs.

• This type is highly flexible and adaptable, making it ideal for many types of data needs.

• For example, in a NoSQL document database, you might have a "User" document that could look something like this:

{
  "userId": "123",
  "name": "John Doe",
  "email": "johndoe@example.com",
  "address": {
    "street": "123 Main St",
    "city": "Springfield",
    "state": "IL",
    "zip": "62701"
  },
  "orders": [
    {
      "orderId": "456",
      "product": "Book",
      "quantity": "1"
    },
    {
      "orderId": "789",
      "product": "DVD",
      "quantity": "2"
    }
  ]
}

• This example shows how you can nest objects (like the "address" object) and arrays (like the "orders" array) within a document.

• This allows for complex relationships and hierarchical data structures to be stored in a single document.

• Another advantage of document databases is that they allow you to query and search within these nested structures.
