Validate LLM JSON Output

MediumPython

Problem

Write a function to validate the structure of JSON outputs from an LLM response.

Implement validate_json_structure(response, schema), where response is a JSON string and schema maps required field names to type names: string, number, boolean, object, array, or null. Return True when the response is valid JSON, has an object at its root, and every schema field exists with the expected type. Extra response fields are allowed; malformed JSON, missing fields, and type mismatches return False.

Constraints

  • The response contains at most 10^4 characters.
  • The root JSON value must be an object.
  • The schema contains at most 100 required fields.
  • Schema type names are limited to string, number, boolean, object, array, and null.
  • Extra fields in the response are allowed.
