Jon Henshaw posted on Twitter that Bing now supports JSON-LD for Schema markup and structured data support. Search Engine Land received confirmation that Bing now supports JSON-LD, which has become the preferred markup method for most developers these days.

Bing previously only supported Microdata or RDFa format but not JSON-LD works.

Here are the tweets from Jon:

This is the most proof I'm offering. My high-level Bing contact said it's not in their webmaster tools yet, but it is supported. So you may have to wait awhile until you can get it in writing (public help doc and/or it appearing in their tools), but I'm moving forward with it. pic.twitter.com/YDiucVOsYc — Jon Henshaw (@henshaw) March 3, 2018

This is exciting news for SEOs, webmasters and schema nerds.

Google began supported JSON-LD about two years ago.
