For inference providers
Structured outputs don't have to break
The same provider can handle structured outputs well on one model and struggle on the next. Implementations diverge on strings, optionals, composition and conditionals (the April announcement): the schema one provider enforces, another ignores.

dotjson plugs into your inference stack, so every model you serve gets perfect structured outputs from day 0.
