JSON-LD or MICRODATA

Hi @seowind,

Is there any particular reason you want to use microdata instead of json? Google recommends json https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/intro-structured-data.

The thing is that microdata makes the code messy and I really don’t want to go there ?? unless there is a very good reason for it.

Hi! Yes I agree. Google loves more json. But the joy is that the world is not alone Google. For example, there is a search engine Yandex. And he does not understand now json. I do not know what the situation is Bing, Yahoo.
But it would be perfect if we could choose the appropriate option or microdata or json

Hmm, I checked and it seems that both Bing/Yahoo and Yandex support JSON-LD. Sources:

Hi! Support for markup in the validator and its support in the search engine itself are two different things.I do not know how to Bing, but Yandex search engine does not support today LD+JSON. Perhaps the same situation with bing. Therefore, it is always great to have alternatives.

I’ve put microdata on to-do list ??
