I'm having a problem initializing Values objects. For example, if I'm creating an Organization object, how to I initialize an Awards object with 2 awards?

var organization = new Organization()
{
    Address = new PostalAddress()
    {
        StreetAddress = this.CurrentWebsite.CustomerServiceAddress1,
        AddressLocality = this.CurrentWebsite.CustomerServiceCity,
        AddressRegion = this.CurrentWebsite.CustomerServiceState,
        PostalCode = this.CurrentWebsite.CustomerServicePostalCode,
        AddressCountry = "US"
    },
    Award = new Values()
    {
        // How do you do this for "Award 1" and "Award 2"
    },
};

Award = new List()
{
    "Award 1",
    "Award 2"
},

By the way, you sir, are a genius. This package saved me a TON of time! Thanks!

    },
};

This question is better suited to a GitHub issue. Like so:

var organization = new Organization()
{
    Award = new List<string>()
    {
        "Award 1",
        "Award 2"
    },
};

You can use a List<T> or T[] array.

Great work!

I have a question tho, how can we set the dateCreated to just the year of the book published?

I'm not sure what you mean but you can just set the property to a DateTimeOffset value.

Normally, for our collection of books, we only have the publication year (we do not have the complete date)... How can we set the dateCreated to just the year (eg 2007)? The DateTimeOffset data type requires year, month and day.

According to https://schema.org/dateCreated, the dateCreated type only supports date or dateTime types. So setting the year alone is not possible.

I understand.

In https://schema.org/Date, it mentions that it should follow ISO8601 format. Which allows yyyy date format.

ISO 8601 prescribes, as a minimum, a four-digit year [YYYY]... W3

Yes you are right...that's an interesting problem. The only way I can think to resolve it is for every date property like dateCreated, to add a format property like dateCreatedFormat which would take a C# date format string. This could then be used in the serialization/deserialization.

Please do raise an issue in the Schema.NET GitHub site. We'll see if we can get that implemented or also feel free to submit a pull request.

Thanks for this wonderful work. I'm having slight problem with adding logo to my structure as it is not part of Article object. Any thoughts on that ? Thanks

Logo is not part of the article object on schema.org.

I'm having a problem initializing MedicalSpeciality objects. For example, if I'm creating an Physician object, how to I initialize a MedicalSpeciality with multiple speciality?

var physician = new Physician()
{
    Name = objModel.DoctorPersonalVM.DoctorName,
    Url = new Uri(Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority) + objModel.DoctorPersonalVM.Slug),
    Description = objModel.DoctorPersonalVM.AboutMe,
    MedicalSpecialty = new MedicalSpecialty()
    {
        objModel.DoctorPersonalVM.Speciality
    }
    Award = new List<string>() 
    {
        objModel.DoctorPersonalVM.AwardName,
    },
};

Great work, Rehan!

I'm a bit confused - is there a way to deserialize JSON schema into Schema.NET C# Book type (for example)?

You can just use standard JSON serialization for that. See unit tests.

Hard to say with this much information.

It should be noted that to output this in razor syntax, you must use

@Html.Raw()

So the example above which says:

var jsonLd = website.ToString();

The output should be

@Html.Raw(website)

If you just do

@jsonLd

You'll get html encoded strings, which is no good.
