"\n",
"There are two primary approaches for this:\n",
"\n",
"- `Functions`: Some LLMs can call [functions](https://openai.com/blog/function-calling-and-other-api-updates) to extract arbitrary entities from LLM responses.\n",
"\n",
"- `Parsing`: [Output parsers](/docs/modules/model_io/output_parsers/) are classes that structure LLM responses. \n",
"\n",
"Only some LLMs support functions (e.g., OpenAI), and they are more general than parsers. \n",
"\n",
"Parsers extract precisely what is enumerated in a provided schema (e.g., specific attributes of a person).\n",
"\n",
"Functions can infer things beyond of a provided schema (e.g., attributes about a person that you did not ask for)."

"\n",
"Let's dig into what is happening when we call `create_extraction_chain`.\n",
"\n",
"The [LangSmith trace](https://smith.langchain.com/public/72bc3205-7743-4ca6-929a-966a9d4c2a77/r) shows that we call the function `information_extraction` on the input string, `inp`.\n",

"\n",
"This `information_extraction` function is defined [here](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/blob/master/libs/langchain/langchain/chains/openai_functions/extraction.py) and returns a dict.\n",
"\n",
"We can see the `dict` in the model output:\n",
"```\n",
" {\n",
" \"info\": [\n",
" {\n",
" \"name\": \"Alex\",\n",
" \"height\": 5,\n",
" \"hair_color\": \"blonde\"\n",
" },\n",
" {\n",
" \"name\": \"Claudia\",\n",
" \"height\": 6,\n",
" \"hair_color\": \"brunette\"\n",
" }\n",
" ]\n",
" }\n",
"```\n",
"\n",
"The `create_extraction_chain` then parses the raw LLM output for us using [`JsonKeyOutputFunctionsParser`](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/blob/f81e613086d211327b67b0fb591fd4d5f9a85860/libs/langchain/langchain/chains/openai_functions/extraction.py#L62).\n",
