+**Breadcrumbs and JSON:API**
+
+In order for breadcrumb data to appear in JSONAPI the computed_breadcrumbs module has been installed. The computed_breadcrumbs module adds a hidden field to content types that stores breadcrumb data via the request. This results in breadcrumb data being included with nodes in the JSON feed.
+
+Because the primary vehicle for populating breadcrumbs, the menu_breadcrumbs module, is not configured for all content types the easy_breadcrumb module has been added. The easy_breadcrumb module fills in the gap left by menu_breadcrumbs by populating breadcrumbs based on path for content types without breadcrumb data.
