<p class="note">
Though this specification requires that a <code>@context</code> <a>property</a>
be present, there is no requirement that the value of the <code>@context</code>
property be processed using JSON-LD. This is to support processing using plain
JSON libraries such as those that may be used when the
<a>verifiable credential</a> is encoded as a JWT.
JSON-LD aware processors can process the <code>@context</code> using full
JSON-LD processing as expected. For other processors, the only processing
necessary is to ensure that the order of the values in <code>@context</code>
is what is expected for the particular application, but no JSON-LD processing
of those values is required.
