The JSON-LD `@type` value.

Methods

__construct()  : mixed
Constructor to hydrate public properties from an array or stdClass.
jsonSerialize()  : array<string|int, mixed>
Serializes the current object into a JSON-LD array.
withAtContext()  : $this
Sets the internal JSON-LD `@context` attribute.
withAtType()  : $this

withJSONLDMeta()  : $this

Constants

CONTEXT

JSON-LD @context declaration for Schema.org.

public mixed CONTEXT = 'https://schema.org'

Properties

$atContext

The JSON-LD `@context` value.

private string|null $atContext = null

Default is https://schema.org.

$atType

The JSON-LD `@type` value.

private string|null $atType = null

This can be manually set or automatically inferred from the class name.

Methods

__construct()

Constructor to hydrate public properties from an array or stdClass.

public __construct([array<string|int, mixed>|object|null $init = null ]) : mixed

This allows objects to be quickly populated with associative data without manually setting each property.

Parameters
$init : array<string|int, mixed>|object|null = null

A data array or object used to initialize the instance. Keys must match public property names.

ReflectionException
example
use org\schema\Person;
use org\schema\constants\Prop;

$person = new Person
([
    Prop::NAME => 'Jane Doe',
    Prop::URL  => 'https://example.com/janedoe'
]);

echo $person->name; // Outputs: Jane Doe

jsonSerialize()

Serializes the current object into a JSON-LD array.

public jsonSerialize() : array<string|int, mixed>

Includes public properties, the JSON-LD @context and @type. Null values are automatically removed.

Tags
throws
ReflectionException

If reflection fails when accessing properties.

example
use org\schema\Person;
use org\schema\constants\Prop;

$person = new Person
([
    Prop::NAME => 'John Smith',
    Prop::ID   => 'jsmith-001'
]);

echo json_encode($person, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);

Output:

{
   "@type": "Person",
   "@context": "https://schema.org",
   "id": "jsmith-001",
   "name": "John Smith"
}
Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

JSON-LD representation of the object.

withAtContext()

Sets the internal JSON-LD `@context` attribute.

public withAtContext(string $context) : $this

Useful if you need a custom JSON-LD context.

Parameters
$context : string
Return values
$this

withAtType()

Sets the internal JSON-LD `@type` attribute.

public withAtType(string $type) : $this

Allows overriding the default type inferred from the class.

Parameters
$type : string
Return values
$this

withJSONLDMeta()

Initializes both JSON-LD metadata: `@type` and `@context`.

public withJSONLDMeta([string|null $atType = null ][, string|null $atContext = null ]) : $this

Can be called from constructor or later to override default values.

Parameters
$atType : string|null = null

Optional JSON-LD type

$atContext : string|null = null

Optional JSON-LD context

Return values
$this
