Document-oriented storage

Document-oriented storage is a type of database designed to store, retrieve, and manage data in the form of documents rather than traditional tables. Each document can contain various types of data, such as text, images, or even nested structures, all organized in a way that resembles a JSON or XML format. This flexibility allows for easier handling of complex and varied information. It’s especially useful for applications where data structures may change over time, as it adapts well to evolving requirements without needing a rigid schema. Examples include MongoDB and CouchDB.
