-```javascript
+The native types are String, Number, Boolean and Date. You can also use
+arrays and subdocuments (objects). If you specify an `_id` field, it
+will be used as the document's _id, otherwise a nedb will generate one.
+Note the generated `_id` is a simple string, not an ObjectId.
 
+```javascript
+var document = { hello: 'world'
+               , n: 5
+               , today: new Date()
