If you prefer, microdata can also be used (without going through JSON), which is essentially equivalent to RDFa Lite, but has several vocabulary caveats, so should probably be used just for publishing schema.org content. That is a clear explanation of current best practice. Thanks. However, one should also consider what might happen to best practices once new features become available or standardized. There is a positive feedback loop there. For example, what should one do if one wishes to publish HTML about content already described by RDF? Similarly, what if a publisher already has RDF about a resource and wishes to include it in an HTML representation? In those cases, one might reasonably suggest that the RDF be included as Turtle in an HTML page because it is certainly easier to construct such a thing than to determine how and where to insert RDFa attributes.
