document-oriented

Records as units

Document-oriented describes databases or systems that store data as self-contained documents rather than rows in tables.

Each document—typically in formats like JSON or XML—contains all its related information in one place: MongoDB is a document-oriented database.

This approach suits data with varying structures, where rigid schemas would be impractical.
