coercing the type of a nested node in a plain JSON document

[ghost]

I am processing plain JSON documents of the form:

{
"propertytype1" : {
"key1" : "value1"
}
}

I want to coerce the "@type" of the nested node value, but I don't see an example in the spec nor can I achieve this in the playground.

My attempt at a context is:

"@context" : {
"propertytype1" : {
"@id" : "http://example.org/propertytype1",
"@type" : "http://example.org/PType1"
},
"@vocab" : "http://example.org/"
}

The compact form generated in the playground is:

{
"http://example.org/propertytype1": {
"http://example.org/key1": "value1"
}
}

What I am trying to achieve is:

{
"http://example.org/propertytype1": {
"@type" : "http://example.org/PType1",
"http://example.org/key1": "value1"
}
}

Is it possible to achieve this, if not how do people generally apply contexts to nested JSON documents to get typed node values?

That’s not possible with the current spec. Type coercion in the context only works for values, not for nodes – you have to distinguish between those two.

Currently there’s no way to type a node using just a context. You would need to pre-process the data in order to achieve that. The reason for this design decision is that most of the time, you would end up with invalid data if type coercion would also apply to node objects. I know it doesn’t really solve your problem but does it answer your question?

Yes, thank you it answers my question, the lack of an example in the spec made me think that was the case.
