Structured output schema built dynamically?

[ken-nguyen-2605]

Thank you for developing SDK for java. I wonder if we have a way to define json schema output without need to define the class in source code, because I may need different structured response based on different user input.

I see these features is supported in OpenAI, don't know if we support this kind? Thank you!

Yeah, it's possible to provide outputConfig(...) manually with whatever JSON schema you want

@damo mind ensuring this is:

1. Documented in the README
2. Has an associated example in the examples dir

This is briefly documented, but there is no example code showing this specific case:

A JSON schema can be defined by creating a BetaJsonOutputFormat and setting it on the input parameters. However, for greater convenience, a JSON schema can instead be derived automatically from the structure of an arbitrary Java class.

You could take a look at the example of building a JSON schema for tool use without a class using the low-level ("raw") API in BetaMessagesToolsRawExample.java. You could follow that approach, but use BetaJsonOutputFormat instead of BetaTool.InputSchema and wrap your schema-building steps in conditional logic based on the user's input to create different schemas at run-time.
