Google announced in December that its structured data testing tool would be moved from Google’s website to the Schema.org domain. This came after Google stated that it would depreciate the tool because it just wanted to support a rich results tool.

The Schema.org markup validator is now available for testing at validator.schema.org. Note: I mentioned this in our SchemaApp newsletter the other day, but it’s worth repeating in case you missed it, and it was officially confirmed yesterday afternoon.

They explained that the tool was

“based on the tool previously known as the Google Structured Data Testing Tool (SDTT) and is provided by Google as a service for the Schema.org community.”

The following are some of the characteristics:

  • Microdata markup is extracted using JSON-LD 1.0, RDFa 1.1, and JSON-LD 1.0.
  • The derived structured data graph’s description is shown.
  • Errors in the markup’s syntax are highlighted.

This method is geared toward Schema.org. This ensures that other @context URLs will not be retrieved or interpreted by JSON-LD.

More information about the tool’s capabilities can be found here:

  • Validate markup given directly or fetch pages from URLs.
  • Extract structured data injected through Javascript, such as by widgets.
  • Combine JSON-LD from script elements with data from RDFa and Microdata attributes in HTML.
  • When markup provides text values when an object is anticipated, apply some heuristics.

Validator.schema.org is where you can try it out.

Since Google’s mission is to get it off the Google domain and into Schema.org, here is what Google has to say about it.
