As of April 6, 2020, data-vocabulary.org markup will no longer be eligible for Google rich result features. With the increasing usage and popularity of schema.org Google decided to focus their development on a single SD scheme. Google uses structured data standardized formats and shared schemas to provide information about a page and the things described by the page. This information is used for two main purposes, understand the content of the page and enable special search result features and enhancements.
JSON-LD stands for JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data. Structured data formats like JSON-LD, RDFa and Microdata define a small number of fixed structures that can be used to encode descriptive data. To Enable rich results with structured data, below are the code snippets.
JSON-LD Schema for Website Sitelinks Searchbox
A sitelinks search box is a quick way for people to search your site or app immediately on the search results page. The search box implements real-time suggestions and other features.
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context": "https://schema.org/",
"@type": "WebSite",
"name": "My Website Name",
"url": "https://www.example.com/",
"potentialAction": {
"@type": "SearchAction",
"target": "https://www.example.com/search/?q={search_term_string}",
"query-input": "required name=search_term_string"
}
}
</script>JSON-LD Schema for Blog Posting
There are multiple types of article schema that can be added: NewsArticle or BlogPosting being the most common. I'd recommend using BlogPosting schema as it's more specific to what the article is.
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "BlogPosting",
"mainEntityOfPage": {
"@type": "WebPage",
"@id": "https://www.example.com/blog/seo-tutorial"
},
"headline": "My Blog Title",
"description": "My Blog Description",
"image": "https://www.example.com/images/seo.jpg",
"author": {
"@type": "",
"name": "Name of Author"
},

"datePublished": "2020-03-29",
"dateModified": "2020-03-29"
}
</script>JSON-LD Schema for Breadcrumb
The BreadcrumbList schema allows you to mark up the breadcrumbs on your site to generate breadcrumb rich snippets for your pages in the SERPs. This can help your users to understand and navigate your website hierarchy.
<script type="application/ld+json">

"@type": "BreadcrumbList",
"itemListElement": [{
"@type": "ListItem",
