JSON-LD Generator vs Schema.biz

JSON-LD Generator is a free web tool that creates structured data markup from fields users fill in, with generated JSON-LD shown in real time. It covers 17 schema types, including Article, Breadcrumb, Course, Event, FAQ, HowTo, Local Business, Organization, Product, Recipe, Review, Video, WebSite and WebPage. Product fields include offers, ratings and reviews; Local Business offers more than 100 subtypes, with examples such as Restaurant, Hotel and Dentist. The tool displays live checks for required fields and produces JSON using JSON.stringify, which the site describes as strictly valid JSON. Users can copy the generated code and open Google’s Rich Results Test, or follow a shortcut to the schema.org Validator. The form state is preserved between visits. A companion address-to-latitude-and-longitude tool is available for Local Business or Organization data. The generator runs on the web and requires JavaScript. Its creator, Patrick Coombe, says the site launched in 2017 as a reference for web developers and SEO practitioners learning about JSON-LD.

Schema.biz is a free browser toolkit for structured data markup, database schemas, and API specifications. Its markup tools generate, validate, and optimize JSON-LD, Microdata, and RDFa. A visual schema designer exports SQL for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and SQL Server; database tools also diagram CREATE TABLE statements, compare schema versions, visualize queries, and offer templates. API tools validate JSON Schema, edit OpenAPI specifications, generate schemas and mock data, convert formats, and detect breaking changes. An AI Search Optimizer checks structured data readiness for ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Pasted data is processed in browser JavaScript, and the maker says it is not sent to its servers. For URL-based markup checks, however, the server fetches the requested page for the browser to inspect. The free plan includes all tools without feature gates, limits, or signup. Persistent cross-device work and third-party URL crawling are not offered; an API Validator and Mock Server are marked as coming soon.
