<p>Structured data allows developers and publishers to mark up content in a way that it’s easy for machines to understand. Proper use of structured data <a href="https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/intro-structured-data" rel="nofollow ugc">enables third-parties like Google to parse reviews, event data, and contact information in meaningful ways</a>, ensuring you’re getting the most “bang” out of your publishing buck.</p>
<p>Fortunately, the major players in the Search game, including Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!, and Yandex) came together in the early 2010s to form <a href="http://schema.org/docs/about.html" rel="nofollow ugc">Schema.org</a>, a collaborative, community-driven standard for structured data.</p>
<p>With the major search engines and communities behind it, we’re all marking up everything with appropriate structured data now, right?</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the process of implementing Schema.org in a site — especially one driven by dynamic content — is less than straightforward. <a href="https://wordpress.org" rel="ugc">WordPress</a>, for instance, <a href="https://ma.tt/2015/11/seventy-five-to-go/" rel="nofollow ugc">powers roughly a quarter of the web</a>, but implementing structured data across hundreds of thousands of themes would be a nightmare.</p>
<p>Or, at least it would be, if it weren’t for Schemify.</p>
<h4>What does Schemify do?</h4>
<p>There are two approaches to adding structured data to a website: via the markup or <a href="http://json-ld.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">JSON for Linking Data (JSON-LD)</a>.</p>
<p>Consider the following author information, which might appear at the bottom of a blog post:</p>
<pre><code>    
        
        <a href="https://stevegrunwell.com" rel="author nofollow ugc">Steve Grunwell</a>
        <p>Steve is the Director of Technology at Growella. When he's not working, you can find him speaking at conferences, roasting coffee, or spending time with his wife and daughter</p>
    
</code></pre>
<p>If I wanted this information to use Schema.org markup, it would look something like this:</p>
<pre><code>    
        
        <a href="https://stevegrunwell.com" rel="author nofollow ugc">Steve Grunwell</a>
        <p>Steve is the Director of Technology at Growella. When he's not working, you can find him speaking at conferences, roasting coffee, or spending time with his wife and daughter</p>
    
</code></pre>
<p>While that may not <em>seem</em> like a lot of work, that’s still a lot of extra markup being added. Even worse, a lot of that markup might normally be generated by WordPress helper functions like <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_avatar/" rel="nofollow ugc"><code>get_avatar()</code></a>, which means extra work to get the necessary <code>itemprop</code> attribute in place.</p>
<p>Fortunately, the other approach for adding structured data is much more straight-forward in a theme, as it’s simply a JSON-LD object:</p>
<pre><code>    
    {
        "@context": "http://schema.org",
        "@type": "Person",
        "name": "Steve Grunwell",
        "url": "https://stevegrunwell.com",
        "image": "https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/88ea4e10ed968136228545d7112d82cb?s=200",
        "description": "Steve is the Director of Technology at Growella. When he's not working, you can find him speaking at conferences, roasting coffee, or spending time with his wife and daughter"
    }
    
</code></pre>
<p>We simply generate this JSON-LD object and append it to our document’s <code><body></code>. When Google or anyone else who supports JSON-LD structured data parses our page, they can immediately understand that Steve Grunwell is a person and determine his website, avatar, and biography.</p>
<p>The best part? There’s no need to change the markup within our theme!</p>
<p><strong>Schemify aims to automate the generation of JSON-LD objects for content within WordPress.</strong> Its flexible structure and reasonable defaults enables drop-in support for structured data, regardless of the WordPress theme.</p>

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.
