Microdata, RDFa and JSON-LD Detector

Paste a page's HTML and see every item of structured data in all three syntaxes, with its type, properties, line number and gaps.

How to use

What it checks and how it works

Google reads structured data in JSON-LD, Microdata or RDFa and recommends JSON-LD (Google Search Central, intro page, opened on 29 Oct 2026). The tool finds all three in the HTML you paste. JSON-LD blocks are parsed as strict JSON. Microdata follows the HTML Standard's rules for itemscope, itemtype and itemprop, including meta content, link href, time datetime and text values. RDFa follows RDFa Lite 1.1: vocab, prefix, typeof, property, resource and content. Each item is matched to the Google type it belongs to and its required properties are counted, whichever syntax carried it. The tool flags legacy data-vocabulary.org markup, which Google's breadcrumb page says is no longer eligible for rich result features. It reads only the HTML you paste, so markup that JavaScript adds later appears only if you paste the rendered DOM, and it does not follow itemref links.

Which syntax does Google recommend?

JSON-LD. Google's intro page says all three formats are equally fine as long as the markup is valid, but it recommends JSON-LD where your site allows it.

Why can it miss markup my page has?

Scripts can add markup after the page loads. Paste the rendered HTML from your browser's inspector to include it.

What is data-vocabulary.org markup?

An older vocabulary. Google's breadcrumb page says markup of that kind is no longer eligible for Google rich result features, so move to schema.org.
