Use json-ld schema.org format as input

Use json-ld schema.org format as input

Hi everyone,
I am trying to use pandoc to create a pdf file from a json file formatted 
following the schema.org structured data format. Let's take, as example, 
this: https://schema.org/Recipe
Unfortunately, the output of 
pandoc -o recipe.pdf recipe.json --template custom
is "JSON parse error".
For what I understand, pandoc handles a particular json format but I wasn't 
able to find proper documentation on how to structure it.
I was looking at this example, but it seems to be a different approach: 
https://pandoc.org/using-the-pandoc-api.html#builder

Do you have any suggestion on how to achieve this?

I was also thinking of writing a converter from schema.org to markdown and 
yaml frontmatter and then serve it to pandoc.

Thanks!
Jacopo

Yes, json input is for a pandoc document serialized to json.
To see what the serialization looks like, just do pandoc -t json
on a document.

You could write a converter from your json format to pandoc's,
and let pandoc handle the markdown rendering; that would be
more reliable than going directly to markdown.

If you don't feel like writing a converter, there might be an easier way.

For a similar problem (my CV instead of recipes), I found that using YAML 
makes things easier (going from your structured JSON to YAML should be 
easy).

YAML can be understood by pandoc as metadata, and I use it with a markdown 
template to generate the contents of the document I want, using pandoc's 
templating features (variable substutution, conditionals, loops...) then I 
pass that markdown again through pandoc to create the docx, or pdf.

You can convert json to yaml using ruby or python. See 
https://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/matching/json-to-yaml/anNvbiB0byB5YW1s/sort-by-votes 
for one liners. Then it's just a matter of writing a pandoc template. I've 
done this for my resume, converting data from https://jsonresume.org/ for 
use with pandoc.
