I've been starting to read up about structured data:

https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/structured-data/intro-structured-data

Using this can improve SEO using rich results: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/7445569

Is there a desire to add support for this to Docusaurus? By the looks of it, blog posts could easily support structured data if we introduced something that generated structured data from frontmatter tags. What do people think of this idea?

Generating article type data feels like a good shout: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/article

So generating something like this in the head:

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Article headline</title>
    <script type="application/ld+json">
    {
      "@context": "https://schema.org",
      "@type": "NewsArticle",
      "headline": "Article headline",
      "image": [
        "https://example.com/photos/1x1/photo.jpg",
        "https://example.com/photos/4x3/photo.jpg",
        "https://example.com/photos/16x9/photo.jpg"
       ],
      "datePublished": "2015-02-05T08:00:00+08:00",
      "dateModified": "2015-02-05T09:20:00+08:00",
      "author": [{
          "@type": "Person",
          "name": "Jane Doe",
          "url": "http://example.com/profile/janedoe123"
        },{
          "@type": "Person",
          "name": "John Doe",
          "url": "http://example.com/profile/johndoe123"
      }]
    }
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>
