Hey!
I’m using the Structured Output as documented and the API response looks fine overall, except the output I need and that I have defined in the JSON schema is returned as escaped JSON instead of standard JSON.
Does anyone know if there is any way to get the schema returned as standard JSON, it would make the integration on my end a bit easier. 
Thank you! 
Hi and welcome!
I would personally deterministically convert one to the other as an external step.
I’m aware that is an option, but it seems a bit like wasted effort when it looks from the API documentation (https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs?api-mode=responses#example-response) that just getting back standard JSON from the API should be an option?
