SCHEMA for Article

hi,
please set default timeDate for datePublished
in Shamsi (FA-IR) timeDate is not global :
ex:
"datePublished": "1395-03-10T22:43:32+0430",
"dateModified": "2016-05-30T23:01:23+0430",



nice

SCHEMA for Article is simply the easiest solution to add valid schema.org as a JSON script in the head of blog posts or articles.
