# Creating/updating an element in the database

# Creating an element

Every element in the JSON database is made of a key and a value.

You can create a new element in the database by using Jsoning#set.

database.set("myname", "khalby786");

Here, myname is the key and khalby786 is the value. An element is referred to using the key.

You can update an element by providing a new value for an already existing key.

database.set("value", "something"); // value = something

// updating the value
database.set("value", "something2"); // value = something2
