How to save an array of data

I'm able to save one row no problem of data to modx_site_content, however, what would be the correct syntax if I want to insert multiple rows of data at once?

Example:

$object = $modx->newObject('modDocument');
$object->fromArray(array(
'menutitle' => 'Menu Title Test',
'pagetitle' => 'Page Title test',
),'',false, false, true);

$object->save();

But if I want to insert, let's say, 10 rows at once, would I just create an array of $object?

Yeah, you'll probably need to create an array of $object's. While there's updateCollection and removeCollection, I don't think there is an insertCollection-like method yet in xPDO.

So I'll still have to traverse the aray individually, and save each one, one at a time?

I'm afraid so.
