Companion to framework-schema.md. This document inventories the schema types that move citation needles in 2026. The parent framework covers JSON-LD installation, the @id graph pattern, and the foundation schemas every site needs. This framework drills into the type-specific patterns for SoftwareApplication, Course, Event, JobPosting, Recipe, HowTo, FAQPage, QAPage, Review, Product, LocalBusiness subtypes, Person, ProfilePage, ClaimReview, and the broader CreativeWork hierarchy.
Cross-stack implementation note: code samples are JSON-LD inside <script type="application/ld+json"> blocks. For React, Vue, Svelte, Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Astro, Hugo, 11ty, Remix, WordPress, Shopify, and Webflow equivalents see framework-cross-stack-implementation.md. For pure client rendered SPAs see framework-react.md.
