## Expected Types

| Type | Description |
|------|-------------|
| [BreadcrumbList](https://schema.org.ai/BreadcrumbList) | A BreadcrumbList is an ItemList consisting of a chain of linked Web pages, typically described using at least their URL and their name, and typically ending with the current page. The [position](https://schema.org.ai/position) property is used to reconstruct the order of the items in a BreadcrumbList. The convention is that a breadcrumb list has an [itemListOrder](https://schema.org.ai/itemListOrder) of [ItemListOrderAscending](https://schema.org.ai/ItemListOrderAscending) (lower values listed first), and that the first items in this list correspond to the "top" or beginning of the breadcrumb trail, e.g. with a site or section homepage. The specific values of 'position' are not assigned meaning for a BreadcrumbList, but they should be integers, e.g. beginning with '1' for the first item in the list. |
| [Text](https://schema.org.ai/Text) | Data type: Text. |

## Used on Types

| Type | Description |
|------|-------------|
| [WebPage](https://schema.org.ai/WebPage) | A web page. Every web page is implicitly assumed to be declared to be of type WebPage, so the various properties about that webpage, such as `breadcrumb` may be used. We recommend explicit declaration if these properties are specified, but if they are found outside of an itemscope, they will be assumed to be about the page. |
