Overview

XGrammar is an open-source library for efficient, flexible, and portable structured generation.

It leverages constrained decoding to ensure 100% structural correctness of the output. It supports general context-free grammar to enable a broad range of structures, including JSON, regex, custom context-free grammar, etc.

XGrammar uses careful optimizations to achieve extremely low overhead in structured generation. It has achieved near-zero overhead in JSON generation, making it one of the fastest structured generation engines available.

XGrammar features universal deployment. It supports:

• Platforms: Linux, macOS, Windows
• Hardware: CPU, NVIDIA GPU, AMD GPU, Apple Silicon, TPU, etc.
• Languages: Python, C++, and JavaScript APIs
• Models: Qwen, Llama, DeepSeek, Phi, Gemma, etc.

XGrammar is very easy to integrate with LLM inference engines. It is the default structured generation backend for most LLM inference engines, including vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, and MLC-LLM, as well as many other companies. You can also try out their structured generation modes!
