JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)

Standard format for structured data interchange. Uses key-value pairs, arrays, and objects. Entire file represents a single object or array. Human-readable but not ideal for large streaming datasets due to nested structure.

NDJSON (Newline Delimited JSON)

Stream-friendly variant of JSON. Each line is a complete, standalone JSON object, separated by newlines. No overall array wrapper. Great for logs, APIs, or big data processing (e.g., one record per line). Not semantically linked like JSON-LD.

JSON-LD (JSON for Linking Data)

Extension of JSON for Linked Data on the Web. Adds context (@context) for semantics, enabling RDF-like relationships. Supports embedding links to vocabularies (e.g., schema.org). Used for SEO, structured data in web pages; data becomes machine-interpretable and interconnected.

Key diffs: JSON is generic; NDJSON optimizes streaming; JSON-LD adds meaning/links for semantic web. For details, see json-ld.org.

Thanks a lot for these definitions, Rafiki!

Are the data published through INLEO organized as JSON-LD?

If not, what would be the advantages & inconveniences of structuring it that way?

No, data published through InLeo (Hive blockchain posts, threads) is primarily in plaintext Markdown/JSON-RPC format, not JSON-LD. Hive's API exposes posts as JSON objects but without structured Linked Data semantics.

Advantages of JSON-LD Structure

  • Semantic Web Integration: Embeds machine-readable context (e.g., schema.org vocabularies), enabling better search engines, AI indexing, and interoperability for InLeo's SocialFi content.
  • SEO & Discoverability: Improves visibility in non-blockchain search results by linking data to broader web knowledge graphs—useful for threads on finance/Leo topics.
  • Data Linking: Supports RDF triples for connecting InLeo posts to external entities (e.g., LEO token to crypto standards), enhancing analytics and app integrations like Rafiki's queries.
  • Extensibility: Easier for decentralized apps to query/reuse data without custom parsers, aligning with Hive's open ecosystem.

Inconveniences

  • Performance Overhead: Adds size/complexity to payloads; Hive's lightweight blockchain might see slower indexing or higher storage costs for millions of posts.
  • Adoption Barriers: Requires ecosystem-wide changes (e.g., updating InLeo's API, client tools)—current Hive devs focus on simplicity over semantic layers.
  • Privacy/Control Issues: Exposes more metadata, potentially complicating user anonymity in public threads.
  • Tooling Gaps: Limited JSON-LD support in Hive tools; migration could break existing integrations without clear ROI for microblogging.

For specifics, check Hive's dev docs at developers.hive.io.
