  # 🤝trustcall
  
  LLMs struggle when asked to generate or modify large JSON blobs. `trustcall` solves this by asking the LLM to generate JSON patch operations. This is a simpler task that can be done iteratively. This enables:
  
  - ⚡ Faster & cheaper generation of structured output.
  - 🐺Resilient retrying of validation errors, even for complex, nested schemas (defined as pydantic, schema dictionaries, or regular python functions)
  - 🧩Acccurate updates to existing schemas, avoiding undesired deletions.

  # 🤝trustcall
  
  **`trustcall` is a robust Python library for reliable LLM tool calling and structured output generation, built on LangGraph.** It tackles the common challenge of LLMs struggling with complex JSON by enabling them to generate precise JSON patch operations. This iterative approach ensures:
  
  - ⚡ Faster & cheaper generation of structured output.
  - 🐺Resilient retrying of validation errors, even for complex, nested schemas (defined as pydantic, schema dictionaries, or regular python functions)
  - 🧩Acccurate updates to existing schemas, avoiding undesired deletions.
