| 7 | +# Specifications |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +JSON-LD has been designed to be a modular set of specifications. It |
| 10 | +consists of two base specifications: The JSON-LD Syntax and the JSON-LD |
| 11 | +API. All other JSON-LD specifications are layered upon the previous two |
| 12 | +specifications, allowing the community to build experimental extensions |
| 13 | +on top of the base specifications. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +## [The JSON-LD Syntax](latest/json-ld/) {#syntax} |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +Defines JSON-LD, a JSON-based format to serialize Linked Data. The |
| 18 | +syntax is designed to easily integrate into deployed systems that |
| 19 | +already use JSON, and provides a smooth upgrade path from JSON to |
| 20 | +JSON-LD. It is primarily intended to be a way to use Linked Data in |
| 21 | +Web-based programming environments, to build interoperable Web services, |
| 22 | +and to store Linked Data in JSON-based storage engines. |

| 28 | + |
| 29 | +## [The JSON-LD API](latest/json-ld-api/) {#api} |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +An Application Programming Interface (API) and a set of algorithms for |
| 32 | +programmatic transformations of JSON-LD documents. This API defines |
| 33 | +algorithms for applying and removing JSON-LD contexts. |

| 49 | +## [JSON-LD Framing](latest/json-ld-framing/) {#framing} |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +JSON-LD Framing allows developers to perform *query by example* and |
| 52 | +force a specific tree layout to a JSON-LD document. It allows developers |
| 53 | +to restructure data retrieved from the Web according to the specific |
| 54 | +needs of their application. Restructuring JSON-LD data before your |
| 55 | +application processes it leads to simpler code when processing data from |
| 56 | +external sources. |

| 64 | +## [JSON-LD RDF API](latest/json-ld-rdf/) |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +JSON-LD RDF API describes access methods for transforming and abstract |
| 67 | +RDF represention into JSON-LD and back. |

| 78 | +where an alternate is specified. |
