- A document in MongoDB uses the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format. This format uses curly bracket to mark the start and the end of the document.
- MongoDB refers to the keys as fields.
- The field value pairs in a document are separated by colon (:)
- Each field must be enclosed within quotation marks. String values are often quoted as good practice.
- Each field value pair is separated withing the document by commas ( , )
Sample Document
{ "_id": 1, "user_id": "Jack", "age": 40, "Status": "Active" }
