Key points

  • A production pipeline stacks 5 stages: schema-in-prompt, native JSON mode, lenient extraction, schema validation, retry-with-error
  • Each stage targets a specific failure mode covered in the earlier subtopics — none of them alone is sufficient
  • Wrapping this into one reusable function means every call site gets the full reliability stack automatically
  • Using a generic, schema-parameterized function (Type[T]) lets the same pipeline serve many different extraction schemas
  • This is exactly the 'reusable template' idea from JSON prompting's core value proposition — build once, plug in everywhere
