SoftwareApplication builder

Creates general SoftwareApplication metadata. The SoftwareApplication builder injects @type, validates synchronously, and rejects unknown properties.

Import

// Astro — shown first when Astro is selected
import { SoftwareApplication } from '@unschema-graph/astro';

// Svelte 5
import { SoftwareApplication } from '@unschema-graph/svelte';

// Core / Node.js
import { SoftwareApplication } from '@unschema-graph/core';
import { SoftwareApplicationSchema } from '@unschema-graph/core';

The SoftwareApplicationSchema Zod schema is also exported for composition and advanced validation.

TypeScript types

import {
  SoftwareApplicationSchema,
  type SchemaInput,
  type SchemaOutput,
} from '@unschema-graph/core';

type SoftwareApplicationInput = SchemaInput<typeof SoftwareApplicationSchema>;
type SoftwareApplicationOutput = SchemaOutput<typeof SoftwareApplicationSchema, 'SoftwareApplication'>;

Input properties

Property	Input type	Required	Default / constraints
@id	string	No	non-empty
name	string	Yes	non-empty
operatingSystem	string	No	—
applicationCategory	string	No	—
offers	Offer | AggregateOffer | Array<Offer | AggregateOffer>	No	—
aggregateRating	AggregateRating	No	—
review	Review | Array<Review>	No	—
screenshot	string | ImageObject | Array<string | ImageObject>	No	non-empty
softwareVersion	string	No	—
downloadUrl	string	No	—
fileSize	string	No	—
description	string	No	—

The aliases above remain the exact authority for nested object types. The builder also accepts a validation configuration as its second argument and always returns @type: 'SoftwareApplication'.

Minimal example

import { SoftwareApplication } from '@unschema-graph/core';

const entity = SoftwareApplication({
  "name": "Acme Editor",
  "operatingSystem": "Web",
  "applicationCategory": "DeveloperApplication"
});

Output

{
  "@type": "SoftwareApplication",
  "name": "Acme Editor",
  "operatingSystem": "Web",
  "applicationCategory": "DeveloperApplication"
}

Relationships and recipes

• Related builders: Product, Offer, AggregateOffer, Service
• Used by: no dedicated recipe
• External sources: Schema.org SoftwareApplication

Common errors

• Passing an unknown property to the strict builder.
• Using source data that is missing a required property.
• Assuming valid Schema.org guarantees a search appearance.

Validation

Use SoftwareApplication.safeParse(input) for external data. If Schema.org supports a property that is not modeled yet, validate the entity first and then use withAdditionalProperties(). Never pass invented properties to the strict builder.
