Generate Structured Output

Create your first structured generation

python
# Generate JSON output
schema = {
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
        "name": {"type": "string"},
        "age": {"type": "number"}
    }
}

result = sg.generate(
    prompt="Create a user profile",
    schema=schema
)

Practical Examples

Learn by doing with real-world examples

JSON Generation

Generate structured JSON data with type safety

python
schema = {
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
        "product": {"type": "string"},
        "price": {"type": "number"},
        "in_stock": {"type": "boolean"}
    }
}

result = sg.generate(
    prompt="Product info",
    schema=schema,
    format="json"
)

XML Generation

Create well-formed XML documents

python
schema = {
    "root": "catalog",
    "children": [
        {"name": "book", "type": "string"},
        {"name": "author", "type": "string"}
    ]
}

result = sg.generate(
    prompt="Book catalog",
    schema=schema,
    format="xml"
)

Custom Schemas

Define your own complex schemas

python
schema = {
    "type": "array",
    "items": {
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
            "id": {"type": "number"},
            "data": {"type": "string"}
        }
    }
}

result = sg.generate(
    prompt="Generate list",
    schema=schema
)

Tips & Tricks

Level up your SGLang skills with expert advice

Be Specific with Schemas

Define detailed schemas with exact types, required fields, and constraints to get more accurate outputs.

Use Templates

Create reusable templates for common patterns to save time and ensure consistency across generations.

Optimize Token Usage

Use concise prompts and leverage schema constraints to reduce unnecessary token consumption.

Validate Outputs

Always validate generated outputs against your schema, especially for critical applications.

Batch Generation

Generate multiple structured outputs in a single request for better performance and cost efficiency.

Handle Errors Gracefully

Implement proper error handling and retry logic for robust production applications.

Test Edge Cases

Test your schemas with various inputs to ensure they handle edge cases correctly.

Document Your Schemas

Keep clear documentation of your schemas and templates for easier maintenance and collaboration.
