How can I specify a JSON schema for structured responses in Langchain-Go?

I'm using the OpenAI Go API library (openai-go) where I can specify a structured JSON response with a JSON schema via the ResponseFormat
field in ChatCompletionParams
, like so:
GOparams := openai.ChatCompletionNewParams{ //Model: openai.F(openai.ChatModelGPT4o), Model: openai.F(openai.ChatModelGPT4oMini), Messages: openai.F([]openai.ChatCompletionMessageParamUnion{ openai.UserMessage(message), }), MaxTokens: openai.Int(200), Temperature: openai.Float(0.7), ResponseFormat: openai.F[openai.ChatCompletionNewParamsResponseFormatUnion]( openai.ResponseFormatJSONSchemaParam{ Type: openai.F(openai.ResponseFormatJSONSchemaTypeJSONSchema), JSONSchema: openai.F(schemaParam), }, ), }
However, when using the Langchain-Go library, I'm only able to enable JSON mode with:
GOllm, err := openai.New() if err != nil { return "ERROR:", err } completion, err := llms.GenerateFromSinglePrompt( ctx, llm, "Give list of cat names and return results in valid JSON format", llms.WithJSONMode(), llms.WithTemperature(0.0), )
How do I specify or pass a JSON schema to enforce a structured JSON response when using Langchain-Go? I have tried to find an equivalent option to ResponseFormat
but haven’t found one. Any guidance or workarounds are appreciated.

Answer:
Currently, the Langchain-Go library only offers an option to enable JSON mode (using functions like llms.WithJSONMode()
) but does not expose an API for attaching a JSON schema (as you can with the OpenAI-Go library’s ResponseFormat
parameter). In other words, you cannot directly pass a JSONSchema object in Langchain-Go in the same way.
Workarounds:
Prompt Engineering:
You can include the JSON schema details directly in the prompt so that the model is explicitly instructed to follow the required structure. This extra instruction helps ensure that the generated output conforms as closely as possible to your schema.
Post-Processing:
After receiving the response in JSON mode, you can write additional code to validate and parse the JSON against your schema manually.
If structured outputs with schema binding as a tool are critical to your application, you might consider raising an issue or contributing to the Langchain-Go repository. This feedback can help prioritize an implementation similar to what’s available in the OpenAI-Go library.
Let me know if you need more details on one of these approaches!
