For many use cases, having nested data in documents works well than with other structures. Similarly, before we go forward to implement the data structure plan, there are three main possibilities for the data structure, which are nested data in documents, sub-collections, and root level collections.
Firestore supports all the primitive data types and also some of the modern data types as well. Firestore supports array, boolean, bytes, date and time, floating point numbers, geographical points, integer, map, NULL, reference, and text string.
When the query involves fields with mixed types, Firestore uses deterministic ordering. The ordering is enlisted as follows:
- Null values
- Boolean ...
