Google Adds JSON-LD Breadcrumbs Support

John Mueller of Google confirmed this morning on Twitter that Google now supports JSON-LD format/schema for breadcrumbs.

Currently, the documentation for breadcrumb schema makes no mention of JSON-LD, but John Mueller said that will change.

In addition, it seems like the Google Structured Data Testing Tool also doesn't recognize JSON-LD breadcrumbs.

But John Mueller said Google does indeed support it.

Here are the set of tweets:

@seerl We support JSON-LD breadcrumbs. The docs should be updated at some point too :)
