title: How to markup the last non linking item in breadcrumbs list using JSON-LD
body: <p>I am using structured data for my breadcrumbs trail. I'm refering to this documentation:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://developers.google.com/structured-data/breadcrumbs" rel="noreferrer">https://developers.google.com/structured-data/breadcrumbs</a></p>
  
  <p>I have built up a breadcrumbs list. I also display the last item that refers to the current page but this is not a link but just plain text. This is what my HTML markup looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;ol class="breadcrumb"&gt;
       &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.example.com/"&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
       &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.example.com/brands"&gt;Brands&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
       &lt;li class="active"&gt;My Brand&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ol&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have opted to use <code>JSON-LD</code> to markup my breadcrumbs trail. I'm not sure how to markup the last item in my breadcrumbs list seeing that it is not a link? Am I supposed to leave it out? This is what I currently have:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script type="application/ld+json"&gt;
  {
       "@context": "http://schema.org",
       "@type": "BreadcrumbList",
       "itemListElement": [{
            "@type": "ListItem",
            "position": 1,
            "item": {
                 "@id": "http://www.example.com/",
                 "name": "Home"
            }
       }, {
            "@type": "ListItem",
            "position": 2,
            "item": {
                 "@id": "http://www.example.com/brands",
                 "name": "Brands"
            }
       }]
  }
  &lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Do I need to add the last item like I did with the other 2 items, or do I need to leave it? Is it just for the items that have links to it?</p>
