JSON Schema is primarily used for describing large sets of self-contained data, used as a data descriptor it’s similar to XML schema. JSON LD is a way to describe data use of the web, more similar to schema.org or meta descriptors. It’s consumed for more than one type of object and can be used to discover schema.
