What it does

LLMs break JSON constantly. Streaming cutoffs leave incomplete objects. Claude wraps valid JSON in markdown fences. GPT hallucinates trailing commas and unquoted keys. Your production app crashes. You rewrite prompts 47 times. Shim intercepts malformed LLM outputs and repairs them in sub-50ms. Real-time streaming support. Zero data persistence. Drop-in API for production AI agents. Fixes: Truncated objects, markdown wrappers, trailing commas, unquoted keys, NaN values, schema validation.

Repair malformed JSON from LLMs in sub-millisecond time. No retries, no buffering delays, no production failures. Start with 1,000 free repairs/month.

Shim intercepts malformed JSON from language models and repairs it in sub-millisecond time. Prevents production API failures caused by truncated JSON, markdown fences, and syntax errors. Repair broken JSON from LLMs as it streams. Sub-millisecond fixes. Zero data stored. No retries needed. { name: "Widget A", status: 'active', score: NaN, tags: ['new', 'promo',], } Repaired by Shim • Confidence: HIGH Sub-Millisecond Repair Repair engine runs in <0.1ms. Total API response in 5-15ms. 200x faster than OutputFixingParser. Repair JSON as it streams from your LLM. No waiting for complete output. Zero retries. Every repair includes a confidence level.

  • Robust LLM extractor for websites in TypeScriptMar 2026 · github.com · ▲72

    We've been building data pipelines that scrape websites and extract structured data for a while now. If you've done this, you know the drill: you write CSS selectors, the site changes its layout, everything breaks at 2am, and you spend your morning rewriting parsers. LLMs seemed like the obvious fix — just throw the HTML at GPT and ask for JSON. Except in practice, it's more painful than that: - Raw HTML is full of nav bars, footers, and tracking junk that eats your token budget. A typical product page is 80% noise. - LLMs return malformed JSON more often than you'd expect, especially with…

  • A MitM proxy to see what your LLM tools are sendingJan 2026 · github.com · ▲218

    I built this out of curiosity about what Claude Code was actually sending to the API. Turns out, watching your tokens tick up in real-time is oddly satisfying. Sherlock sits between your LLM tools and the API, showing you every request with a live dashboard, and auto-saved copies of every prompt as markdown and json.

  • Structured output from LLMs without reprompting2023 · automorphic.ai · ▲174

    Built a tool for transforming unstructured data into structured outputs using language models (with 100% adherence). If you're facing problems getting GPT to adhere to a schema (JSON, XML, etc.) or regex, need to bulk process some unstructured data, or generate synthetic data, check it out. We run our own tuned model (you can self-host if you want), so, we're able to have incredibly fine grained control over text generation.

    A tool to benchmark LLM APIs (OpenAI, Claude, local/self-hosted)2025 · llmapitest.com · ▲55

    I recently built a small open-source tool to benchmark different LLM API endpoints — including OpenAI, Claude, and self-hosted models (like llama.cpp). It runs a configurable number of test requests and reports two key metrics: • First-token latency (ms): How long it takes for the first token to appear • Output speed (tokens&#x2F;sec): Overall output fluency Demo: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;llmapitest.com&#x2F; Code: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;qjr87&#x2F;llm-api-test The goal is to provide a simple, visual, and reproducible way to evaluate performance across different LLM providers, including…

  • Robust LLM Extractor for HTML/Markdown in TypeScript2025 · github.com · ▲14

    While working with LLMs for structured web data extraction, we saw issues with invalid JSON and broken links in the output. This led me to build a library focused on robust extraction and enrichment: - Clean HTML conversion: transforms HTML into LLM-friendly markdown with an option to extract just the main content - LLM structured output: Uses Gemini 2.5 flash or GPT-4o mini to balance accuracy and cost. Can also also use custom prompt - JSON sanitization: If the LLM structured output fails or doesn't fully match your schema, a sanitization process attempts to recover and fix the data,…
