Definition
The standard data-interchange format used in RAG and Agentic workflows to enforce 'Structured Output,' allowing stochastic LLM responses to be parsed into deterministic code. It serves as the primary bridge for mapping natural language intentions to executable function parameters or database schemas.
In AI, JSON refers to the structured payload returned by a model for 'Function Calling' rather than a generic web data format.
"A standardized shipping manifest that tells a robotic warehouse arm exactly which bin to move, regardless of how the request was phrased."
