Yeah. As far as I know, content is still king at Google.
So extra weight will be given to whatever is shown to the visitors (seeing or non-seeing).

This article by one of the guys behind JDON-LD is also interesting.

The semantic web was at the bottom of his list when making the specification, so JSON-LD is not really designed for semantics.


To me JSON-LD looks like a standardized way to store common data using JSON.

Myself in my apps I would not use JSON-LD as my own apps would use a internal API or I'd define a custom API using JSON.

JSON-LD would be overkill for the play history for a web player for example, as you'd have to support all of the JSON-LD specs if you want to remain compliant. No browser support JSON-LD, so you'd need a larger library to handle it. I rely on native browser functionality as possible to avoid 3rd party libraries.

Something like JSON-LD would make more sense with something like The Internet Archive and so on, as part of a official public API etc.
