John Mueller of Google confirmed this morning on Twitter that Google now supports JSON-LD format/schema for breadcrumbs.
Currently, the documentation for breadcrumb schema makes no mention of JSON-LD, but John Mueller said that will change.
In addition, it seems like the Google Structured Data Testing Tool also doesn't recognize JSON-LD breadcrumbs.
But John Mueller said Google does indeed support it.
Here are the set of tweets:
@seerl We support JSON-LD breadcrumbs. The docs should be updated at some point too :)
