Stop Guessing Your Structured Data: Visualize JSON-LD for Better SEO ๐Ÿš€

Search engines love structured data.

Whether you're working on blogs, e-commerce sites, or SaaS platforms โ€” JSON-LD (JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data) is key to helping Google understand your content better.

But hereโ€™s the challenge:
JSON-LD can be tricky to read, debug, or optimize โ€” especially for complex data.

Thatโ€™s exactly where visualization comes into play.

๐Ÿ“Š Why Visualize JSON-LD?
๐Ÿ•ต๏ธ Easily spot errors or missing fields in your structured data

๐Ÿ”— Understand relationships between entities (like Author โ†’ Article โ†’ Website)

๐Ÿšฆ Debug nested objects quickly before using tools like Googleโ€™s Rich Results Test

๐Ÿ† Fine-tune SEO markup for features like FAQ, Product, Event, and Review rich snippets

โœ… Meet JSON Viewer Tools
I built JSON Viewer Tools to make working with JSON (including JSON-LD) easier, faster, and actually fun:

โœจ Features:

โšก Example Use Case
Have a large Product schema for an e-commerce site?
๐Ÿ‘‰ Visualize relationships between @type: Product, offers, aggregateRating, and review to make sure your markup is complete.

Need to debug nested FAQPage data?
๐Ÿ‘‰ The graph view shows how each Question connects to its Answer.
