Objects are unordered sets of key/value pairs. A key is any JSON string as described above. A value is any JSON building block.
According to the JSON RFC, keys (the strings) should be unique within the same object -- and JSONiq does consider them unique.
You can see in the following examples that values can be also nested objects or arrays.

In the NoSQL world, top-level JSON objects are often referred to as JSON documents.
