Linked Data is a way of describing content across +different documents or Web sites. Web resources are described using +IRIs, and typically are dereferencable entities that may be used to find +more information, creating a "Web of Knowledge". [JSON-LD][] is intended +to be a simple publishing method for expressing not only Linked Data in +JSON, but for adding semantics to existing JSON. + +JSON-LD is designed as a light-weight syntax that can be used to express +Linked Data. It is primarily intended to be a way to express Linked Data +in JavaScript and other Web-based programming environments. It is also +useful when building interoperable Web Services and when storing Linked +Data in JSON-based document storage engines. It is practical and +designed to be as simple as possible, utilizing the large number of JSON +parsers and existing code that is in use today. It is designed to be +able to express key-value pairs, RDF data, [RDFa][] data, +[Microformats][] data, and [Microdata][]. That is, it supports every +major Web-based structured data model in use today. + +The syntax does not require many applications to change their JSON, but +easily add meaning by adding context in a way that is either in-band or +out-of-band. The syntax is designed to not disturb already deployed +systems running on JSON, but provide a smooth migration path from JSON +to JSON with added semantics. Finally, the format is intended to be fast +to parse, fast to generate, stream-based and document-based processing +compatible, and require a very small memory footprint in order to operate. + +## Quick Examples + +```php +$doc = (object)array( + "http://schema.org/name" => "Manu Sporny", + "http://schema.org/url" => (object)array("@id" => "http://manu.sporny.org/"), + "http://schema.org/image" => (object)array("@id" => "http://manu.sporny.org/images/manu.png") +);
