LangChain parser fixes malformed LLM JSON output

This article addresses the common issue of Large Language Models (LLMs) returning malformed JSON, which causes LangChain's JsonOutputParser to fail.

The post offers several solutions, including using the `repair_json` library for auto-repair before parsing, LangChain's `OutputFixingParser` which uses an additional LLM call to correct errors, and `RetryOutputParser` for structured retry logic.
