An array of documents consists of a set of documents separated by commas and enclosed within [  and ] characters. 

## Collections 

•Simple array of documents for Python: 

[{"Name": "Aruba", "Code:": "ABW"}, {"Name": "Angola", "Code:": "AGO"}] 

MySQL supports the following Python value types in JSON documents: 

•numbers (integer and floating point) 

•strings 

•boolean (False and True) 

•None 

•arrays of more JSON values 

•nested (or embedded) objects of more JSON values 

Collections are containers for documents that share a purpose and possibly share one or more indexes. Each collection has a unique name and exists within a single schema. 

The term schema is equivalent to a database, which means a group of database objects as opposed to a relational schema, used to enforce structure and constraints over data. A schema does not enforce conformity on the documents in a collection.
