First of all, we should know what is document oriented database?

Example of document oriented database

MongoDB is a document oriented database. It is a key feature of MongoDB. It offers a document oriented storage. It is very simple you can program it easily.

MongoDB stores data as documents, so it is known as document oriented database.

snippet

FirstName = "Ajeet",                                                                                                         
Address = "Laxmi Nagar",                                                                                                 
Spouse = [{Name: "Chaaru"}].                                                                                         
FirstName ="Ravi",
Address = "Loni"

There are two different documents (separated by ".").

Storing data in this manner is called as document oriented database.

Mongo DB falls into a class of databases that calls Document Oriented Databases. There is also a broad category of database known as No SQL Databases.
