BsonDocument

The BsonDocument class is LiteDB’s implementation of documents. Internally, a BsonDocument stores key-value pairs in a Dictionary<string, BsonValue>.

var customer = new BsonDocument();
customer["_id"] = ObjectId.NewObjectId();
customer["Name"] = "John Doe";
customer["CreateDate"] = DateTime.Now;
customer["Phones"] = new BsonArray { "8000-0000", "9000-000" };
customer["IsActive"] = true;
customer["IsAdmin"] = new BsonValue(true);
customer["Address"] = new BsonDocument
{
    ["Street"] = "Av. Protasio Alves"
};
customer["Address"]["Number"] = "1331";

LiteDB supports documents up to 16MB after BSON serialization.

About document field keys:

Keys are case-insensitive
Duplicate keys are not allowed
LiteDB keeps the original key order, including mapped classes. The only exception is for _id field, which will always be the first field.

About document field values:

Values can be any BSON value data type: Null, Int32, Int64, Decimal, Double, String, Embedded Document, Array, Binary, ObjectId, Guid, Boolean, DateTime, MinValue, MaxValue
When a field is indexed, the value must occupy less than 1024 bytes after BSON serialization.
_id field cannot be: Null, MinValue or MaxValue
_id is unique indexed field, so value must occupy less than 1024 bytes

About .NET classes

BsonValue
- This class can hold any BSON data type, including null, array or document.
- Has implicit constructor to all supported .NET data types
- Value never changes (immutable)
- RawValue property that returns internal .NET object instance
BsonArray
- Supports IEnumerable<BsonValue>
- Each array item can have different BSON type objects
BsonDocument
- Missing fields always return BsonValue.Null value

// Testing BSON value data type
if(customer["Name"].IsString) { ... }

// Helper to get .NET type
string str = customer["Name"].AsString;

To use other .NET data types you need a custom BsonMapper class.
