Respostas estruturadas

É possível configurar os modelos do Gemini para gerar respostas que sigam um esquema JSON fornecido. Isso garante resultados previsíveis e seguros de tipo e simplifica a extração de dados estruturados de texto não estruturado.

Usar respostas estruturadas é ideal para:

  • Extração de dados:extrai informações específicas, como nomes e datas, de um texto.
  • Classificação estruturada:classifique textos em categorias predefinidas.
  • Fluxos de trabalho agênticos:gere entradas estruturadas para ferramentas ou APIs.

Além de oferecer suporte ao esquema JSON na API REST, os SDKs de IA generativa do Google permitem definir esquemas usando Pydantic (Python) e Zod (JavaScript).

Extrator de receitas

Este exemplo demonstra como extrair dados estruturados de texto usando tipos básicos de esquema JSON, como object, array, string e integer.

3/4 cup of packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs.
For the best part, they'll need 2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips.
First, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Then, in a small bowl, whisk together the flour,
baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar
until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla and eggs, one at a time. Gradually beat in the dry
ingredients until just combined. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips. Drop by rounded tablespoons
onto ungreased baking sheets and bake for 9 to 11 minutes.

Resultados de streaming

É possível transmitir saídas estruturadas, permitindo que você comece a processar a resposta à medida que ela é gerada. Os blocos transmitidos são strings JSON parciais válidas que podem ser concatenadas para formar o objeto JSON final.

Python

    summary: str

Saídas estruturadas com ferramentas

Com o Gemini 3, você pode combinar saídas estruturadas com ferramentas integradas, incluindo Embasamento com a Pesquisa Google, Contexto de URL, Execução de código, Pesquisa de arquivos e Chamada de função.

Python

class MatchResult(BaseModel):
    winner: str = Field(description="The name of the winner.")
    final_match_score: str = Field(description="The final match score.")
    scorers: List[str] = Field(description="The name of the scorer.")

client = genai.Client()

Suporte a esquemas JSON

Para gerar um objeto JSON, configure response_format com um objeto (ou uma matriz que contenha um objeto) do tipo text e defina mime_type como application/json. O esquema precisa ser fornecido no campo schema.

O modo de saída estruturada do Gemini é compatível com um subconjunto da especificação do esquema JSON.

Os seguintes valores de type são aceitos:

  • string: para texto.
  • number: para números de ponto flutuante.
  • integer: para números inteiros.
  • boolean: para valores verdadeiro ou falso.
  • object: para dados estruturados com pares de chave-valor.
  • array: para listas de itens.
  • null: para permitir que uma propriedade seja nula, inclua "null" na matriz de tipos (por exemplo, {"type": ["string", "null"]}).

Essas propriedades descritivas ajudam a orientar o modelo:

  • title: uma breve descrição de uma propriedade.
  • description: uma descrição mais longa e detalhada de uma propriedade.

Propriedades específicas do tipo

Para valores de object:

  • properties: um objeto em que cada chave é um nome de propriedade e cada valor é um esquema para essa propriedade.
  • required: uma matriz de strings que lista quais propriedades são obrigatórias.
  • additionalProperties: controla se as propriedades não listadas em properties são permitidas. Pode ser um booleano ou um esquema.

Para valores de string:

  • enum: lista um conjunto específico de strings possíveis para tarefas de classificação.
  • format: especifica uma sintaxe para a string, como date-time, date, time.

Para valores de number e integer:

  • enum: lista um conjunto específico de valores numéricos possíveis.
  • minimum: o valor mínimo inclusivo.
  • maximum: o valor máximo inclusivo.

Para valores de array:

  • items: define o esquema de todos os itens na matriz.
  • prefixItems: define uma lista de esquemas para os primeiros N itens, permitindo estruturas semelhantes a tuplas.
  • minItems: o número mínimo de itens na matriz.
  • maxItems: o número máximo de itens na matriz.

Saídas estruturadas x chamada de função

Recurso Caso de uso principal
Saídas estruturadas Formatar a resposta final: use quando quiser que a resposta do modelo esteja em um formato específico.
Chamada de função Realizar ações durante a conversa: use quando o modelo precisar pedir para você realizar uma tarefa antes de dar uma resposta final.

Práticas recomendadas

  • Descrições claras:use o campo description para orientar o modelo.
  • Tipagem forte:use tipos específicos (integer, string, enum).
  • Engenharia de comando:indique claramente o que você quer que o modelo faça.
  • Validação:embora a saída seja um JSON sintaticamente correto, sempre valide os valores no seu aplicativo.
  • Tratamento de erros:implemente um tratamento de erros robusto para saídas compatíveis com o esquema, mas semanticamente incorretas.

Limitações

  • Subconjunto de esquema:nem todos os recursos do esquema JSON são compatíveis.
  • Complexidade do esquema:esquemas muito grandes ou aninhados podem ser rejeitados.
