    openai_functions

    Parsers for OpenAI functions output.

    Functions

    function
    parse_partial_json

    Parse a JSON string that may be missing closing braces.

    Classes

    class
    OutputParserException

    Exception that output parsers should raise to signify a parsing error.

    This exists to differentiate parsing errors from other code or execution errors that also may arise inside the output parser.

    OutputParserException will be available to catch and handle in ways to fix the parsing error, while other errors will be raised.

    class
    BaseCumulativeTransformOutputParser

    Base class for an output parser that can handle streaming input.

    class
    BaseGenerationOutputParser

    Base class to parse the output of an LLM call.

    class
    ChatGeneration

    A single chat generation output.

    A subclass of Generation that represents the response from a chat model that generates chat messages.

    The message attribute is a structured representation of the chat message. Most of the time, the message will be of type AIMessage.

    Users working with chat models will usually access information via either AIMessage (returned from runnable interfaces) or LLMResult (available via callbacks).

    class
    Generation

    A single text generation output.

    Generation represents the response from an "old-fashioned" LLM (string-in, string-out) that generates regular text (not chat messages).

    This model is used internally by chat model and will eventually be mapped to a more general LLMResult object, and then projected into an AIMessage object.

    LangChain users working with chat models will usually access information via AIMessage (returned from runnable interfaces) or LLMResult (available via callbacks). Please refer to AIMessage and LLMResult for more information.

    class
    OutputFunctionsParser

    Parse an output that is one of sets of values.

    class
    JsonOutputFunctionsParser

    Parse an output as the JSON object.

    class
    JsonKeyOutputFunctionsParser

    Parse an output as the element of the JSON object.

    class
    PydanticOutputFunctionsParser

    Parse an output as a Pydantic object.

    This parser is used to parse the output of a chat model that uses OpenAI function format to invoke functions.

    The parser extracts the function call invocation and matches them to the Pydantic schema provided.

    An exception will be raised if the function call does not match the provided schema.

    class
    PydanticAttrOutputFunctionsParser

    Parse an output as an attribute of a Pydantic object.
