Description

The getj function takes a URI as input and performs the following steps:

1. Fetches the document at the given URI.
2. Parses the fetched document into a DOM structure.
3. Searches for a <script> element with a type attribute of "application/ld+json" or "application/json".
4. If found, parses the content of the <script> element into a JSON object.
5. If a fragment identifier is present in the input URI, searches for a nested object with a matching ID or '@id' property within the JSON object.
6. Returns the matching nested object if found, or the entire JSON object if no fragment identifier is present or no matching object is found.
