What is Cloud Firestore? Cloud Firestore is a NoSQL database similar to the Realtime Database. It stores data
in a structure that looks like a tree, but where data is stored as documents.
Documents and
collections are the primary building blocks of the Cloud Firestore.
It’s helpful to think of documents as files, and that these files consist of key-value
pairs known as
fields — this is similar to how models work. The values can be
anything, strings, numbers, binary data, or even nested objects in a map format that
resembles a JSON object. Collections, on the other hand, are simply groups of
documents.
