DID Document

The DID Document is a JSON document (in the form of a JSON-LD document) that contains information about a DID, such as the public keys associated with the DID, and service endpoints.

DID Documents are resolved from DIDs depending on the method of the DID.

DID Documents are used for:

• Record Verification
• Handles using alsoKnownAs
• Resolving the user's Personal Data Server (PDS) via service entries

Example DID Document:
