Schema.org - JSON-LD - Where to Place?

Question

I am looking to use JSON-LD for schema on a website. (Schema meaning schema.org data.) I know how to write the data but my question is is there a prefered location in my cod

Answer 1

The data can be placed anywhere. From Google's documentation:

The data, enclosed within the tags as shown in the examples below, may be placed in either the or region of the page that displays that event.

You can also use data dynamically fetched using AJAX:

JSON-LD markup inserted by Javascript that runs upon initial page load can be recognized.

Update (as pointed by Antony in the comments)

The latest documentation says:

[JSON-LD is a] JavaScript notation embedded in a tag in the page head or body... Google can read JSON-LD data when it is dynamically injected into the page's contents, such as by JavaScript code or embedded widgets in your content management system.
