Required parameters: | -None | -
Encoding considerations: | -
- Resources that use the "application/vc+ld+json "
- Media Type are required to conform to all of the requirements
- for the "application/ld+json " Media Type and are
- therefore subject to the same encoding considerations specified

- Note that while the Verifiable Credentials format uses JSON-LD - conventions, there are a number of constraints and additional - requirements for Verifiable Credential implementations that justify - the use of a specific media type. -
