.. note::

    When creating and manipulating a :class:`Document`, it's important to keep
    in mind how the underlying yyjson library manages memory. If you modify a
    Document, such as removing or replacing a value, the memory for that value
    is not freed until the Document is destroyed. A Document isn't meant to be
    kept around and constantly modified, so don't use it as, say, a database.
