# Documents

## What is a document

Documents in Dash Platform are similar to those in standard document-oriented databases (MongoDB,...).  
They represent a record consisting of one, or multiples field-value pairs and should respect the structure of the dataContract on which they are submitted in.

See more on the Dash Platform documentation about [Data Contract](../../../explanations/platform-protocol-data-contract.md).
