🔷 FoxLearn.AspNet.JsonLd

FoxLearn.AspNet.JsonLd is a lightweight, easy-to-use .NET library that automatically injects JSON-LD structured data into your ASP.NET application. By adding JSON-LD <script> tags into your HTML <head>, search engines like Google and Bing can better understand your content—resulting in enhanced SEO, rich snippets, and improved search visibility.

🔍 Ideal for blogs, e-commerce platforms, and any ASP.NET MVC/WebForms application that aims to improve SEO with structured metadata.

✨ Key Features

  • ✅ Auto-injection of structured data (application/ld+json)
  • 🔗 Built-in support for Schema.org types
  • ⚙️ Seamless integration with ASP.NET MVC and WebForms
  • 🚫 No manual <script> tag editing
  • 🔍 Boosts SEO for better search result presentation (e.g., breadcrumbs, rich cards)

📦 Installation

Install via the .NET CLI:

dotnet add package FoxLearn.AspNet.JsonLd

Or via NuGet Package Manager

Search for FoxLearn.AspNet.JsonLd in Visual Studio’s NuGet UI.

⚙️ Getting Started

📘 ASP.NET MVC Setup

1. Update Global.asax.cs

Modify the Application_Start method:

protected void Application_Start()
{
    AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
    FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
    RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
    BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);

    var builder = new ContainerBuilder();

    builder.RegisterControllers(typeof(MvcApplication).Assembly);

    builder.Register<IJsonLdBuilder, JsonLdBuilder>();

    builder.Register<JsonLdActionFilter>().FilterFor<Controller>();

    builder.RegisterFilterProvider();

    DependencyResolver.SetResolver(new ContainerBuilderDependencyResolver(builder));
}

📝 This setup automatically injects JSON-LD into your HTML <head> using action filters.

Using HTML Helper Instead of Filters

If you prefer manual injection

1. Modify Your Layout File

@using FoxLearn.AspNet.JsonLd

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>@ViewBag.Title - My ASP.NET Application</title>
    @Html.JsonLdScript()
</head>

2. Remove Filter Registration

Remove the following lines from Application_Start:

    //builder.Register<JsonLdActionFilter>().FilterFor<Controller>();
    //builder.RegisterFilterProvider();

3. Add JSON-LD to an Action

Example: Index action in HomeController:

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    private readonly IJsonLdBuilder _jsonLdBuilder;

    public HomeController(IJsonLdBuilder jsonLdBuilder)
    {
        _jsonLdBuilder = jsonLdBuilder;
    }

    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        _jsonLdBuilder.Add(new Organization
        {
            Name = "My Company",
            Url = new Uri("https://example.com")
        });

        return View();
    }
}

📘 ASP.NET WebForms Setup

1. Install Required Packages

  • Autofac

  • Autofac.Web

  • Autofac.Mvc5

2. Update web.config

<system.webServer>
  <modules>
    <add name="ContainerDisposal" type="Autofac.Integration.Web.ContainerDisposalModule, Autofac.Integration.Web" preCondition="managedHandler"/>
    <add name="PropertyInjection" type="Autofac.Integration.Web.Forms.PropertyInjectionModule, Autofac.Integration.Web" preCondition="managedHandler"/>
  </modules>
</system.webServer>

3. Modify Global.asax.cs

public class Global : HttpApplication, IContainerProviderAccessor
{
    static IContainerProvider _containerProvider;
    public IContainerProvider ContainerProvider => _containerProvider;

    void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
        BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);

        var builder = new ContainerBuilder();

        builder.RegisterAssemblyTypes(typeof(Global).Assembly)
               .Where(t => t.IsSubclassOf(typeof(System.Web.UI.Page)))
               .PropertiesAutowired(PropertyWiringOptions.AllowCircularDependencies);

        builder.RegisterType<JsonLdBuilder>()
               .As<IJsonLdBuilder>()
               .InstancePerRequest();

        var container = builder.Build();
        _containerProvider = new ContainerProvider(container);

        DependencyResolver.SetResolver(new AutofacDependencyResolver(container));
    }

    void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var contextBase = new HttpContextWrapper(Context);
        JsonLdHandler.ApplyJsonLdFilter(contextBase);
    }
}

4. Inject JSON-LD on WebForm Page

Example: Contact.aspx.cs

public partial class Contact : Page
{
    public IJsonLdBuilder JsonLdBuilder { get; set; }

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (JsonLdBuilder != null)
        {
            var page = new ContactPage
            {
                Name = "Contact Us"
            };

            JsonLdBuilder.Add(page);
        }
    }
}
