RE: Yandex Testing Tool supports JSON-LD

Hi Alex,

Sorry for the delay.

OK. To illustrate the problem. Let's assume I enter:

  <script type="application/ld+json">
  { 
    "@context": {
      "Something": "http://schema.org/Country"
    },
    "@type": "Something",
    "name": "Russia"
  }
  </script>

What I get out as result is

  jsonld
    @type = Something
    @context
      Something = http://schema.org/Country
    name = Russia

I don't find this particularly helpful because it doesn't tell me at all how
Yandex is going to interpret this markup. Is it understanding that the
entity is of type "Country"? It just presents me the same JSON(-LD) data but
with all curly brackets and commas removed and labels it as "jsonld".

Sure. Let's modify the example above to:

  <script type="application/ld+json">
  { 
    "@context": {
      "@context": "http://schema.org/Country"
    },
    "@type": "Something",
    "name": "Russia"
  }
  </script>

The validator should raise an error as this isn't valid JSON-LD. You can't
nest @context inside @context. Yet it says that everything is fine and that
the result is

  jsonld
    @type = Something
    @context
      @context = http://schema.org/Country
    name = Russia

Well. You could for example tweak the output of the first example so that it
shows the following data instead:

  jsonld
    type = http://schema.org/Country

Please note that name isn't included as it wasn't mapped to an IRI and thus
you don't know what it means.


Is this any clearer? I'm more than happy to help where I can (e.g. by
reviewing new versions of your validator). Just ping me.


Cheers,
Markus
