JSON-LD
JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data — the recommended format for embedding schema markup on web pages.
JSON-LD is the format Google, Bing, and AI engines prefer for structured data. It lives inside a `<script type="application/ld+json">` tag in the document head, separate from the visible HTML.
Compared to inline microdata or RDFa, JSON-LD is easier to maintain because the structured data is decoupled from the visual markup.
