# Manipulate NoSQL Items

> **Note:** Ensure you have installed the [required package](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/cloudscale/nosql/overview/#prerequisites) to use this SDK method.

You can perform manipulations on a NoSQL items, such as creating a NoSQL item from a plain JavaScript object, or vice versa. 

* You can create a NoSQL item by constructing a plain JavaScript object that contains the item’s data in it, in the standard JSON format.
* You can then construct the NoSQL item from the JS object using `NoSQLItem.from()`.
* You can also convert a NoSQL item back into a plain JavaScript object using `itemFromObj.to()`.

```javascript
const obj = {
    fruit: 'apple', // Partition key
    properties: {
        color: 'red'
    }
};
const itemFromObj = NoSQLItem.from(obj); // Construct a NoSQL item from the plain JS object
const plainJsObject = itemFromObj.to(); // Convert the item to a plain JS object
```
