JSON Output

JSON is the most common structured output format for AI prompts. It's machine-readable, easy to parse, and perfect for integrating AI into applications.

Why JSON?

• Machine-readable - Direct parsing in code
• Structured - Defined schema for consistency
• Typed - Clear data types (string, number, boolean, array)
• Nested - Supports complex hierarchies
