Structured data validator

What the structured data validator checks in JSON-LD, microdata and RDFa, and why passing it does not guarantee rich results in search.

We extract every JSON-LD block, microdata itemtype and RDFa typeof from the page, then check that JSON-LD parses and declares an @type.

We do not check whether the markup makes the page eligible for specific rich results — that depends on additional required properties and search engine policies that change over time.
