The Schema.org JSON-LD Context provides the canonical JSON-LD context file for the Schema.org vocabulary. This context file maps Schema.org terms to their full IRIs, enabling JSON-LD processors to correctly interpret structured data markup. Google recommends JSON-LD as the preferred format for Schema.org structured data on websites.
