Creating a document

To insert a document, first we specify the collection name and pass the JSON document by calling the insert method as the following syntax:

> db.collection_name.insert(JSON_Object)

Let's insert the first team to our teams collection:

> db.teams.insert({"code": "PER",   ... "name": "Peru",   ... "ranking": 11,   ... "captain": "Paolo Guerreo",   ... "Trainer": "Ricardo Gareca",   ... "confederation": "Conmebol"})WriteResult({ "nInserted" : 1 })        

The three dots at the beginning of the lines refer to new lines or the Enter key.

If the insertion was executed correctly, you should receive the writeResult response that contains the number of documents inserted into its nInserted property.
