Document

import { Document } from 'slate'

The top-level node in Slate's document model.

Documents are made up of block nodes, inline nodes, and text nodes—just like in the DOM. Note that direct descendants of a document node have to be block nodes.

In some places, you'll see mention of "fragments", which are also Document objects, just that aren't attached to the main Value. For example, when cutting-and-pasting a selection of content, that content will be referred to as a document "fragment".
