I've looked at several threads and can't figure out why I'm getting the error mentioned in the subject line. I've checked quote marks (") and commas (,). What is causing this?

<script type="application/ld+json">

</script>

  • Not clear where you are getting this error, but did you try with just the JSON part, starting with {, without the HTML part (the <script ...> and </script> enclosing)? Commented Sep 27, 2022 at 20:54
  • Thanks for the tip, unfortunately, it didn't work. I got it from a Schema Markup generator, Merkle, and it validates on that site, but not in the editor. It does need "ld+json". Odd... Commented Sep 28, 2022 at 0:33
  • Nothing wrong with the markup. It's a long shot, but could it be to do with the copy/paste from that site? I'd an issue a few years ago with sample code copied from a webpage that turned out to contain some sort of invisible characters. (Perfectly legitimate site, it just had odd formatting), I eventually worked it out by manually deleting and replacing every single space which removing the offending characters I couldn't see. Might be worth a try? Commented Sep 28, 2022 at 2:57

    What software is giving your this error? Is this from a browser? Is it from a command line application? Is it from a web based validation tool? Without knowing the context, in which you are getting this error, it is very hard to advise you. Commented Sep 28, 2022 at 9:07

    I've looked at a few other schema markup generators and they all start with <script type="application/ld+json"> Commented Sep 28, 2022 at 15:13
