Schema.org / JSON-LD Validator
Validate JSON-LD and microdata structured data against Schema.org 28 (2024). Rich Results eligibility checks for Article, Product, FAQ, HowTo, VideoObject, Recipe, Event, and 20+ types.
How to Use Schema / JSON-LD Validator in 3 Steps
- Configure. Paste JSON-LD directly, or paste an HTML page URL to extract and validate all structured data blocks (script[type=application/ld+json] and microdata).
- Process. Pick the expected Rich Results type (Article, Product, FAQ, HowTo, etc.) for stricter Google-specific validation, or choose 'Auto' to check against whatever @type is declared.
- Export. Review validation results: required properties missing, type mismatches, enum violations, and warnings about recommended (but not required) properties.
Why Schema / JSON-LD Validator on Pixlane
Structured data tells search engines what your content means, unlocking Rich Results (enhanced listings with stars, images, FAQs). Pixlane validates JSON-LD against the latest Schema.org 28 (2024) vocabulary, checks Google Rich Results required/recommended properties, and flags common mistakes like malformed @context, missing mainEntity, or incorrect enum values.
- Schema.org 28 (2024) — Validates against the latest Schema.org release. New 2024 types include SoftwareApplication.requirements, Product.hasCertification, and updated WebApplication subtypes.
- Rich Results Eligibility — Beyond Schema.org, checks Google Search Central's Rich Results requirements — which properties are actually needed for enhanced listings (often stricter than Schema.org's baseline).
- 20+ Type Validators — Article, Product, FAQ, HowTo, VideoObject, Recipe, Event, LocalBusiness, Organization, Person, BreadcrumbList, Course, Dataset, JobPosting, QAPage, Movie, Book, SoftwareApplication, Review, AggregateRating — the full Rich Results set.
- Privacy-First — Validates entirely in your browser. Unlike Google's tool, your structured data — which may reveal unreleased product details or private JobPostings — stays on your device.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is JSON-LD?
JSON for Linking Data — the format Google recommends for structured data. It's JSON embedded in a <script type="application/ld+json"> tag with an @context and @type that describe the entity to search engines.
What's the difference between Schema.org and Rich Results?
Schema.org is the shared vocabulary (6,000+ types and properties). Rich Results is Google's selection of types that trigger enhanced search listings, with stricter required-property rules. A valid Schema.org type may still not qualify for Rich Results if it's missing Google-specific fields.
Does it check against Yandex Turbo / Bing?
This tool focuses on Schema.org and Google Rich Results — the dominant standards. Yandex Turbo and Bing also consume structured data but typically accept valid Schema.org; extension-specific validators are separate.
Is this tool free?
Yes. Schema Validator on Pixlane is completely free with no signup required.
