Outlines
Structured text generation library using constrained decoding with FSMs.
About
Outlines by the .txt team is a library for structured text generation that constrains LLM decoding with finite-state machines so output always conforms to a schema. It can guarantee valid JSON, regex-matching strings, or selection from a fixed set of choices, and is used by projects and companies including vLLM and Hugging Face. It works across several model backends. Released under the Apache 2.0 license.
