If you want to have Rich Snippets in Google Search, you have to use the vocabulary Schema.org with a syntax that Google supports.

Currently, Google supports JSON-LD, Microdata and RDFa.

On Google’s "About schema.org" page, they still say that for JSON-LD only the Event Rich Snippet is supported, but this is most likely not true (anymore), as the documentation for their other Rich Snippets list JSON-LD, too. Google even recommends JSON-LD for the features it supports, and Microdata/RDFa for the ones not supported by JSON-LD; but I wouldn’t care too much about this.

Use whichever syntax works best for you. The only feature which currently seems to be exclusive to JSON-LD is that Google supports it also if it’s dynamically injected.
