DocumentSnapshot

public class DocumentSnapshot extends Object
Known Direct Subclasses

A DocumentSnapshot contains data read from a document in your Firestore database. The data can be extracted with the getData() or get() methods.

If the DocumentSnapshot points to a non-existing document, getData() and its corresponding methods will return null. You can always explicitly check for a document's existence by calling exists().

Subclassing Note: Firestore classes are not meant to be subclassed except for use in test mocks. Subclassing is not supported in production code and new SDK releases may break code that does so.
