Package Exports

schema-org-validate
schema-org-validate/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (schema-org-validate) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

schema-org-validate

Validator for schema.org JSON-LD data, based on local type maps extracted from official schema.org vocabulary.

Note: This is a third-party tool and not an official release from schema.org or any affiliated organization.

Features

Validate JSON-LD objects against schema.org types and properties
Supports inheritance between schema.org types
Checks expected property types, including nested objects and arrays
Easily extensible with updated schema.org definitions

Installation

npm install schema-org-validate

Usage

Simple use

const SchemaOrgValidator = require('schema-org-validate');

const validator = new SchemaOrgValidator();

const exampleJsonLd = {
  "@context": "https://schema.org/",
  "@type": "HowTo",
  "name": "How to make tea",
  "totalTime": "PT10M",
  "step": [
    {
      "@type": "HowToStep",
      "name": "Boil water",
      "text": "Fill kettle and boil water."
    },
    {
      "@type": "HowToStep",
      "name": "Steep tea",
      "text": "Pour boiling water over tea leaves and steep."
    }
  ]
};

const errors = validator.validate(exampleJsonLd);
if (errors.length) {
  console.error('Validation errors:', errors);
} else {
  console.log('JSON-LD is valid!');
}

// You can also strip invalid properties:
const cleaned = validator.stripInvalid(exampleJsonLd);
console.log('Cleaned JSON-LD:', cleaned);

Updating schema definitions

If you want to update the schema.org vocabulary data (typeMap.json and subclassMap.json), you can run the build script:

node scripts/build-type-map.js

Make sure you have downloaded the latest schemaorg-current-https.jsonld file into the scripts directory before running the build.

This will regenerate the type and subclass maps used by the validator.
