Link to this section [Schema.org](https://schema.org) defines a set of standard classes and their properties for objects and services in the real world. There are nearly 700 classes at the time of writing defined by schema.org. This machine readable format is a common standard used across the web for describing things. # Where is Schema.org Used? Link to this section ### Websites Link to this section Websites can define Structured Data in the head section of their html to enable search engines to show richer information in their search results. Here is an example of how [Google](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/intro-structured-data) can display extended metadata about your site in it's search results. ![Google Logo Structured Data Example](https://rehansaeed.com/_ipx/f_png&s_2560x3900/content-images/posts/2017/structured-data-using-schema-net/images/Google-Logo-Structured-Data-Example.png) Using structured data in html requires the use of a script tag with a MIME type of `application/ld+json` like so: ```html ``` ### Windows UWP Sharing Link to this section Windows UWP apps let you share data using schema.org classes. [Here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/schemas/appxpackage/appxmanifestschema/element-sharetarget) is an example showing how to share metadata about a book. # Enter Schema.NET Link to this section Schema.NET is Schema.org objects turned into strongly typed C# POCO classes for use in .NET. All classes can be serialized into JSON/JSON-LD. Here is a simple Schema.NET example that defines the name and URL of a website: ```cs var website = new WebSite() { AlternateName = "An Alternative Name", Name = "Your Site Name", Url = new Uri("https://example.com") }; var jsonLd = website.ToString(); ``` The code above outputs the following JSON-LD: ```json { "@context":"http://schema.org", "@type":"WebSite", "alternateName":"An Alternative Name", "name":"Your Site Name", "url":"https://example.com" } ``` There are dozens more examples based on Google's Structured Data documentation with links to the relevant page in the unit tests of the Schema.NET project. # Classes & Properties Link to this section schema.org defines classes and properties, where each property can have a single value or an array of multiple values. Additionally, properties can have multiple types e.g. an `Address` property could have a type of `string` or a type of `PostalAddress` which has it's own properties such as `StreetAddress` or `PostalCode` which breaks up an address into it's constituent parts. To facilitate this Schema.NET uses some clever C# generics and implicit type conversions so that setting a single or multiple values is possible and that setting a `string` or `PostalAddress` is also possible: ```cs // Single string address var organization = new Organization() { Address = "123 Old Kent Road E10 6RL" }; // Multiple string addresses var organization = new Organization() { Address = new List() { "123 Old Kent Road E10 6RL", "456 Finsbury Park Road SW1 2JS" } }; // Single PostalAddress address var organization = new Organization() { Address = new PostalAddress() { StreetAddress = "123 Old Kent Road", PostalCode = "E10 6RL" } }; // Multiple PostalAddress addresses var organization = new Organization() { Address = new List() { new PostalAddress() { StreetAddress = "123 Old Kent Road", PostalCode = "E10 6RL" }, new PostalAddress() { StreetAddress = "456 Finsbury Park Road", PostalCode = "SW1 2JS" } } }; ``` This magic is all carried out using the `Value`, `Value`, `Value` etc. types. These types are all `structs` for best performance too. # Where to Get It? Link to this section Download the Schema.NET [NuGet package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Schema.NET) or take a look at the code on [GitHub](https://github.com/RehanSaeed/Schema.NET). At some point I'll find the time to write a quick ASP.NET Core tag helper that wraps Schema.NET. ## Web Mentions [What's this?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webmention) ### 0 Linked ### 0 Replies ## GitHub Comments ### 20 Comments [Comment on GitHub](https://github.com/RehanSaeed/rehansaeed.github.io/issues/117) [![RehanSaeed](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2270364?v=4)](https://github.com/RehanSaeed) ### [RehanSaeed](https://github.com/RehanSaeed) Owner 12 May 2020 [![Chad Boettcher](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/a2c14a954904cf9b09d9d003b7de4a1b4b69209dad89253341beef1a020745e3/68747470733a2f2f7777772e67726176617461722e636f6d2f6176617461722f30313032663366303665326366363464343463626539643636353639376538363f733d393626643d6d6d26723d67)](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/a2c14a954904cf9b09d9d003b7de4a1b4b69209dad89253341beef1a020745e3/68747470733a2f2f7777772e67726176617461722e636f6d2f6176617461722f30313032663366303665326366363464343463626539643636353639376538363f733d393626643d6d6d26723d67) **Chad Boettcher** commented on **2017-09-01 19:02:41** I'm having a problem initializing `Values` objects.

Like so: ``` var organization = new Organization() { Award = new List() { "Award 1", "Award 2" }, }; ``` You can use a `List` or `T[]` array.

The only way I can think to resolve it is for every `date` property like `dateCreated`, to add a format property like `dateCreatedFormat` which would take a C# date format string. This could then be used in the serialization/deserialization. > > Please do raise an issue in the Schema.NET GitHub page. We'll see if we can get that implemented or also feel free to submit a pull request. Done. :) Thanks for the quick response! Cheers!
