How do I display multiple book authors using JSON-LD?
This question is similar to my original question, but decided to create a different one seeing that 2 different formats are used.
Here is my post using microdata:
schema.org/Book with multiple authorsschema.org/Book with multiple authors
My question is similar. I have a book with multiple authors. Am I doing it correctly by displaying the author property more than once? Below is the code using JSON-LD:
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context": "http://schema.org",
"@type": "WebPage",
"mainEntity": {
"@type": "Book",
"author": {
"@type": "Person",
"familyName": "van der Westhuizon",
"givenName": "Jason",
"name": "Jason van der Westhuizon"
},
"author": {
"@type": "Person",
"familyName": "du Toit",
"givenName": "Jene",
"name": "Jene du Toit"
},
"author": {
"@type": "Person",
"familyName": "September",
"givenName": "Koos",
"name": "Koos September"
},
"bookFormat": "http://schema.org/Paperback",
"datePublished": "2014-11",
"inLanguage": "en",
"isbn": "1234567890123",
"name": "My Book Name",
"numberOfPages": "381",
"publisher": {
"@type": "Organization",
"name": "My Publisher"
},
}
}
</script>
The reason why I ask is because when I go to Google's structured data tester tool then in the results it only shows one author. Why doesn't it display all 3? Is my code wrong?
