TIL: Recipe Schemas 7 ▲ Yash Garg 57 days ago · Tech · hide · 1 comments I am living under a rock!Apparently there’s a schema for recipes??? I was genuinely surprised when Mealie popped up a parsing dialog while I was trying to import a plain-text recipe. Turns out websites can embed recipes using JSON-LD, following the Schema.org Recipe specification. I had no idea this even existed! Google uses it for recipe rich results, and according to their data it’s used by tens of thousands of websites. I only found all of this because the recipe I copied from Instagram couldn’t be parsed. The websites need to expose recipe metadata in JSON-LD for Mealie to understand them. Probably the first time I’ve knowingly come across JSON-LD being used in the wild. It’s quite a cool use case!Have thoughts? Leave a comment at yashgarg.dev. Log in to reply on the Fediverse. Comments will appear here. Drunkboxer @Drunkboxer@mastodon.social 56 days ago [-] I've always thought a conceptual schema web is a neat idea. Schema aggregators index content that implements each schema. The schema browser let's you search for content through field queries; and then you're just rendering text in a custom viewer. And then a publisher app that presents you a form generated from the schema you're writing to.
