Explain Firestore's data model with documents and collections.
← All Firebase questions
Re-explain
Firestore uses a hierarchical data model:
Documents:
- Similar to JSON objects
- Contain fields with values
- Have unique IDs within collections
- Can contain subcollections
Collections:
- Containers for documents
- Cannot contain other collections directly
- Automatically created when first document is added
Structure Example:
users (collection)
├── user1 (document)
│ ├── name: "John Doe"
│ ├── email: "john@example.com"
│ └── posts (subcollection)
│ └── post1 (document)
│ ├── title: "My First Post"
│ └── content: "Hello World"
└── user2 (document)
├── name: "Jane Smith"
└── email: "jane@example.com"
