# Nitrite Collection

NitriteCollection represents a named document collection stored in a Nitrite database. It persists documents in a Nitrite database. It is similar to a table in relational database or a collection in MongoDB.

More details on collection can be found here.

Potassium Nitrite provides a higher-order function to make collection manipulation easier.

db.getCollection("myCollection") {
    // do something with collection
    insert(documentOf("firstName" to "John", "lastName" to "Doe"))
    createIndex("firstName")
}
