Structured LLM outputs
LLMs mostly produce syntactically valid outputs when we try generating JSON, XML, code, etc., but they can occasionally fail due to their probabilistic nature. This is a problem for developers as we use LLMs programmatically, for tasks like data extraction, code generation, tool calling, etc.
LLMs came with the promise of agents and automation. But without structured outputs, it’s just a pipe dream.
There are many deterministic ways to ensure structured LLM outputs. If you are a developer, this handbook covers everything you need.
