How is data stored in MongoDB?
Data in MongoDB is stored in BSON documents – JSON-style data structures. Documents contain one or more fields, and each field contains a value of a specific data type, including arrays, binary data and sub-documents. Documents that tend to share a similar structure are organized as collections.
It may be helpful to think of documents as analogous to rows in a relational database, fields as similar to columns, and collections as similar to tables.
