How do you reliably get structured JSON output from LLMs in production?
Backend Engineer · HR tech platform·Asked Apr 7, 2026·189 views
We need LLMs to return valid JSON matching a strict schema — nested objects, enums, required fields. Even with constrained generation and function calling, we hit schema violations under load, especially on edge-case inputs. What's the production stack for guaranteed structured output? Are people using grammar-based sampling, validator loops, or something else?
