PydanticOutputParser
PydanticOutputParser#
This output parser allows users to specify an arbitrary JSON schema and query LLMs for JSON outputs that conform to that schema.
Keep in mind that large language models are leaky abstractions! You’ll have to use an LLM with sufficient capacity to generate well-formed JSON. In the OpenAI family, DaVinci can do reliably but Curie’s ability already drops off dramatically.
Use Pydantic to declare your data model. Pydantic’s BaseModel like a Python dataclass, but with actual type checking + coercion.
