Article Schema (JSON-LD) Generator

You want to mark up a post with Schema.org and the Google docs open with dozens of optional properties. Here it is three fields: headline, author and publication date. The JSON-LD comes out formatted with the script tag already wrapped around it, ready to paste into the article page, and it refreshes as you type.

Know exactly what you get: headline, author as a Person, and datePublished with a date only, no time and no timezone. Nothing else. image, dateModified, publisher and mainEntityOfPage are left out, and the Rich Results Test will list them as warnings rather than errors. Watch one quirk of the generator: a double quote typed inside any field breaks the JSON, because it closes the string early. Use single quotes, or escape it by hand after copying.

The headline should match the page H1 and the date should match what the reader sees in the article, since markup that contradicts visible content is the fastest route to a manual action. Do not expect guaranteed decoration in search either: Article markup produces no stars and no box of its own, it helps Google understand authorship and dates. If the piece gets revised often, add dateModified by hand. Validate at search.google.com/test/rich-results before shipping.
