What is JSON-LD?<\/h3>\n

JSON-LD is a lightweight Linked Data<\/a> format to easily read and write structured data<\/strong> on the web using open vocabularies like schema.org. Recommended by the World Wide Web<\/a> Consortium, JSON-LD is the heir of the JSON format and allows linked data to operate in a Web-scale environment. The idea behind this notation is to provide search engines with contextual information <\/em>about a web page using semantic web technologies. This helps to improve the match between the intent of the searcher and the content being published.<\/p>\n

How can I use JSON-LD on my website?<\/h3>\n

JSON has been traditionally used by UX designers to feed widgets with data. With the advent of JSON-LD, developers can reuse this same data structures to create new front-end UI widgets as well as feeding search engine crawlers with the metadata that describe the exact meaning of page\u2019s content.<\/p>\n

JSON-LD uses the vocabulary of Schema.org<\/a> to describe what a web page is about. A presentation layer can be added with custom UI elements developed in either Polymer<\/a> or React<\/a> components. <\/span><\/p>\n

How can I add JSON-LD to my WordPress website?<\/h3>\n

There are various plugin to include Schema.org JSON-LD syntax markup to your WordPress website. WordLift is one of these options that above all has the advantage of adding this tags automatically based on the analysis of the content being written. WordLift uses Natural Language Processing<\/a> to extract named entities that are proposed to the editor to tag his\/her content. These entities have unique IDs (unique resource identifier) in the web of data, with this IDs WordLift extracts the information and automatically injects it in the web pages using JSON-LD. <\/span><\/p>\n

What if – instead – you’d like to give your readers the opportunity to go deeper into some entity<\/strong>, but don’t want them to leave your article? Well, we are also thinking about that…<\/p>\n
