Google intro to structured data

1. JSON-LD
2. Microdata
3. RDFa

I’ve opted to use both JSON-LD and Microdata, and ignore RDFa which seems to have fallen out of fashion with XML.

The reason I’m using Microdata is I’ve found it an aid in keeping my HTML templates logical and neat, though it does sometimes confuse Google’s scrapers in that two different Metadata formats on the same page invites contradictions. For me, Microdata is in lieu of cluttering the HTML code with classes. I get the CSS to reference elements by itemprop rather than class.
