A DNS record (alternatively known as a DNS resource record; hereinafter, the Record) is a form of linking standardized data to a specific domain name. A record consists of a type, for example, "AAAA" in an AAAA record, a field or name, for example, jitsi.bskol.com, and value or data associated with the field or name.

In the Internet, the Records are stored in DNS zones in the standard form of resource records or RRs. Literally, one RR is one line of text, in which type, field, and value are separated by tabs.
