What is Structured Data Tester?

A structured data tester validates JSON-LD markup against Schema.org specifications. It checks that your structured data is syntactically correct, uses valid schema types and properties, and includes all required fields needed for Google rich snippets like FAQ, Article, Product, and more.

How to Use Structured Data Tester

Paste your JSON-LD structured data code into the text area. Click "Validate" to analyze the markup. The tool checks for valid JSON syntax, correct Schema.org types and properties, required fields for each schema type, and provides warnings for recommended but missing properties.

How Structured Data Tester Works

The tool parses your JSON-LD input as JSON, then validates the structure against Schema.org specifications. It checks the @context and @type fields, validates required and recommended properties for the detected schema type, checks data types of values, and reports errors and warnings with clear explanations.

Common Use Cases

  • Validate JSON-LD before adding it to your website
  • Debug structured data errors flagged by Google Search Console
  • Check if your markup qualifies for rich snippets
  • Verify required properties are present for each schema type
  • Test structured data for articles, products, FAQs, and events

Frequently Asked Questions

What is JSON-LD?

JSON-LD (JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data) is the recommended format by Google for structured data markup. It uses a <script type="application/ld+json"> tag in your HTML to provide machine-readable data about your page content.

What schema types support rich snippets?

Google supports rich results for many schema types including Article, Product, FAQ, HowTo, Recipe, Event, LocalBusiness, Review, BreadcrumbList, VideoObject, and more. Each type has specific required and recommended properties.

How do I add structured data to my website?

Add a <script type="application/ld+json"> tag in your HTML <head> or <body> section containing your JSON-LD markup. Most CMS platforms also have plugins that can generate structured data automatically.

Why is my structured data not showing rich snippets?

Rich snippets are not guaranteed even with valid structured data. Google may not show them if the markup has errors, required fields are missing, the page quality is low, or Google simply chooses not to display them for that query.
