JSON-LD schema generator and validator
Build valid JSON-LD structured data for Article, FAQPage, Product, Organization and BreadcrumbList from a form, or paste existing markup to have it pretty-printed and checked for the mistakes that stop a rich result appearing. Free, runs in your browser.

}Structured data is how a page tells a search engine what it is rather than what it says, and it is unusually easy to get almost right: an author written as a plain string instead of a Person object, a price outside its Offer, a missing @context. Any of those and the rich result silently does not appear. This builds the block from a form so the nesting is correct by construction, and will check markup you already have.
How it works
- 01Pick a type. Each one shows only the properties that matter for it, with the required ones marked.
- 02Properties that schema.org expects as nested objects are built as nested objects: an author becomes a Person, a brand becomes a Brand, a logo becomes an ImageObject, and a price becomes an Offer with its currency. Writing those as plain strings is the most common reason a valid-looking block produces no rich result.
- 03FAQ and breadcrumb entries are rows rather than fields, because they are lists whose length you choose. Breadcrumb positions are numbered for you, starting at 1 — a list numbered from 0 is silently ignored.
- 04Empty fields are omitted rather than emitted as empty strings, which is what a validator expects.
- 05The output is a complete script tag ready to paste into your head, plus the bare object if you would rather embed it another way.
- 06Switch to validate mode to paste markup you already have: it is pretty-printed, and checked for parsing, a context, a type, and the required properties of the types this tool knows.
Use cases
- Adding Article markup to a blog post so it is eligible for a rich result.
- Marking up an FAQ block so the questions can appear directly under your search listing.
- Giving a product page the Offer markup that price and availability display depend on.
- Publishing Organization markup with the sameAs profile links that help disambiguate a brand.
- Generating BreadcrumbList markup so the results page shows a path instead of a bare URL.
- Checking JSON-LD that a CMS or an AI wrote before it goes live.
Frequently asked questions
What is JSON-LD and why use it over microdata?
JSON-LD is structured data written as a JSON block in a script tag, rather than as attributes sprinkled through your HTML. Google recommends it explicitly, and the practical reason is separation: it does not entangle your markup with your metadata, so a redesign cannot silently break it and a template can emit it in one place.
Why is my valid JSON-LD not showing a rich result?
Valid JSON and valid structured data are different things. The usual causes are a required property missing, a property that should be a nested typed object written as a plain string (author, brand, offers), or markup that describes something not actually visible on the page — which is a guideline violation, not a syntax error. This tool catches the first two. Eligibility is never a guarantee: Google decides whether to show a rich result.
Where should the script tag go?
Either head or body works; head is conventional. What matters more is that it is in the server-rendered HTML. Structured data injected by client-side JavaScript after load is often missed, so emit it with the page rather than from an effect.
Can I put more than one type on a page?
Yes, and it is normal — an article page might carry Article, BreadcrumbList and Organization. Use several script tags, or one with an @graph array. Generate them one at a time here and paste them together.
Does the author have to be a Person object?
Yes. schema.org defines author as a Person or Organization, and a bare string is the single most common mistake in hand-written markup — it parses, it validates as JSON, and it produces nothing. The generator always nests it correctly.
Does this replace Google's Rich Results Test?
No, and it does not try to. This catches the structural mistakes that stop a block working at all — unparseable JSON, no context, no type, missing required properties. Google's tester is the one that tells you whether a specific page is eligible for a specific rich result, and it should still be the last step before you ship.
