Description
Every so often I'll get responses from LLMs that look like this:
I'll analyze and evaluate that for you. Here are the results
{
"result" : "PASS"
}
Which results in BeanOutputConverter failing to parse the response.
o.s.ai.converter.BeanOutputConverter : Could not parse the given text to the desired target type:
Would it make sense to enhance BeanOutputConverters trimming logic to trim everything before the JSON payload?
Expected Behavior
When mapping a response from a ChatClient, if the response from the LLM contains a preamble before a valid JSON response, BeanOutputConverter should trim it and successfully parse the response.
Current Behavior
BeanOutputConverter fails to parse the response and throws and error.
