Where is data attribute's value placed when applied to $(document)?

Question

$( document ).data( 'foo', 'bar' );

Is there a DOM element that gets a data attribute

data-foo="bar"`

Or is the value bar stored internally by jQuery?

This demo may shed some light. Please view the console output.

$(document).data({'test1':'just a string','test2': [1,3,76,45],'test3':1000});
console.log( $(document).data() )
console.log( $(document)[0] );
