A JavaScript implementation of the JSON-LD 1.0 and 1.1 W3C specifications, providing expansion, compaction, framing, and RDF dataset conversion APIs. It lets developers add linked-data semantics to JSON in Node.js and browser environments.

Use cases

• process and expand JSON-LD documents in JavaScript
• convert JSON-LD to RDF datasets and back
• compact JSON-LD with a context for compact output
• frame JSON-LD documents to a desired shape
• add linked-data semantics to existing JSON APIs
• store linked data in JSON document databases like MongoDB

When to choose

• you need a spec-conformant JSON-LD processor in JavaScript or TypeScript
• you are building verifiable credentials or semantic web tooling in Node.js or the browser
• you need interoperability between JSON APIs and RDF/linked data

When to avoid

• you only need plain JSON parsing or serialization without linked-data semantics
• you need streaming JSON-LD processing (use jsonld-streaming-parser/serializer instead)
• your primary environment is not JavaScript-based
