See this post by one of the creators of the JSON-LD standard.

Why do I think it makes sense to switch to JSON-LD?

• It's a perfect match: A @context is a schema, period.
• It's still JSON, no need to deal with crazy triples, turtles and sparqls
• It's a good compromise between pragmatism and ivory-tower RDF. If you want RDF you can transform it

Interesting proposal - do you think it would make our API more accessible? I agree there's some momentum around JSON-LD, so there may be good tooling (such as JS libs) coming up (and bits of grano could go mainstream, e.g. form generation...). Otoh it is a fairly specific and limited data model to sign up to...

It will, as long as JSON-LD picks up steam.

Why? It is only a thin wrapper around idiomatic JSON. In fact, grano’s current idiomatic JSON looks a lot like JSON-LD.
