About the schema markup questions

Structured data is how a page tells search engines what it is about in a form they can trust: an article with an author and a date, a product with a price and a rating, a business with opening hours. Done right it earns rich results; done wrong it earns nothing, silently.

The questions cover the format (JSON-LD), what schema does and does not do for rankings, and the purpose of the schema types that matter most in practice.
