FAQ

What happens if author is a plain string?

The converter normalizes it into a Person object for Article JSON-LD.

Can I keep a custom author object?

Yes. Existing author objects are kept and enriched with type when needed.

Introduction

This URL is tailored for editorial workflows where raw post JSON must become Article JSON-LD before deployment. Teams often have content fields ready in CMS output, but still need semantic structure that validators and search parsers can interpret reliably.

What this variant optimizes

It focuses on Article-compatible shape and author normalization so content pages can ship schema faster. For example, when author is stored as plain text, the converter promotes it into a typed object that aligns better with schema expectations.

Key Features

  • Normalizes author into structured form while preserving existing object-based author data.
  • Keeps editorial metadata (headline, datePublished, description, url) in a clean JSON-LD layout.
  • Maintains key order for easier diff reviews in content ops and PR checks.
  • Works well with blog, documentation, and newsroom content models.

Common Use Cases

  • Converting markdown/CMS frontmatter exports into schema markup for blog templates.
  • Preparing structured data during content migration between publishing platforms.
  • Running schema checks in CI before articles are released to production.
