Document store
A document store is a type of database that saves information as flexible, self-contained units called documents, often in formats like JSON or XML. Each document can contain different types of data and structures, making it easy to store complex or varied information without a rigid schema. This flexibility allows quick updates and retrieval of specific data parts. Document stores are commonly used for applications that require fast access to diverse or evolving data, such as content management systems, user profiles, or e-commerce catalogs. They’re known for their scalability, agility, and ability to handle unstructured or semi-structured data efficiently.
