Guide to testing LLM JSON extraction prompts for accuracy

This article provides a guide on testing JSON extraction prompts, detailing three types of failures: parse, shape, and value. It emphasizes that while API features like OpenAI's JSON Mode and Structured Outputs can help with the first two, the third (value correctness) requires careful prompt engineering and clear rules. The author introduces a testing framework with ten cases and a scoring rubric to ensure prompts reliably produce accurate JSON outputs, especially for critical data like order details. AI
