## Description

Jsonformer is a constrained text generator and schema enforcer that forces language models to produce syntactically correct JSON. It acts as a validator and formatter, ensuring that the output of an AI model strictly conforms to a predefined structural schema.

The system achieves this by restricting the tokens a language model can generate and inserting fixed structural characters into the output stream. This process guarantees that the resulting data follows the specified JSON schema for reliable programmatic integration.

The project covers broad capabilities in output constraining, structured JSON generation, and the creation of reliable interfaces between language models and software.
