Class

Variant

A named variant within a format. The same class may have multiple derivations producing the same format but optimized for different contexts (default for the canonical view, compact for cards, summary for previews, focus for one-thing-at-a-time, etc.). Extensible — publishers may define their own variants.

VariantCardA self-contained card representation suitable for grid layouts, feeds, and dashboards. Usually shows an icon / image, a title, and a small amount of metadata.
VariantCompactA reduced representation suitable for embedding in lists, cards, or aggregate views. Typically emits less detail than the default variant.
VariantDefaultThe canonical / primary derivation for a format. Used when a consumer requests a format without specifying a variant.
VariantFocusA single-thing-at-a-time representation, optimized for the case where the resource is the sole subject of the page — typically with chrome de-emphasized.
VariantPrintA representation optimized for print or PDF output. May expand collapsed sections, drop interactive elements, and apply a print stylesheet.
VariantSummaryA short-form summary representation. Typically a single paragraph or a few key facts, suitable for previews and snippets.
