title: What exactly is the difference between an "attribute" and a "field" in MongoDB terminology?
body: <p>I've seen the terms "attribute" and "field" used interchangeably, and I'd like to know what the proper usage is. So far, it seems that "fields" are what's stored in the database objects, and "attributes" are key-value pairs used in client code, such as in <code>find()</code> calls.</p>
