RDFaType
About
JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data (JSON-LD) is a lightweight linked data format used to embed structured data into web pages in a machine-readable form.
It is based on 
JSON and standardized by the 
W3C, uses context mapping to link data to the Schema.org vocabulary, allows embedding via script tags without affecting page markup, and supports graph-based structures for representing entities and their relationships.
RDFa (Resource Description Framework in Attributes) is an extension to HTML5 that embeds structured metadata within page content by adding attributes based on the RDF data model.
It uses 
HTML attributes such as vocab, typeof, and property to describe entities like people, places, events, recipes, and reviews, supports multiple vocabularies such as Schema.org, 
Dublin Core, and 
GoodRelations, and is one of the structured data formats supported by Google alongside 
JSON-LD and Microdata.
