# Create or overwrite a document

`PUT /v1/data/{path}`

If the path does not refer to an existing document (for example *us-west/servers*), the server will attempt to create all the necessary containing documents.

This behavior is similar to the Unix command [mkdir -p](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mkdir#Options).
