langchain.evaluation.parsing.json_distance.JsonEditDistanceEvaluator¶

class langchain.evaluation.parsing.json_distance.JsonEditDistanceEvaluator(string_distance: Optional[Callable[[str, str], float]] = None, canonicalize: Optional[Callable[[Any], Any]] = None, **kwargs: Any)[source]¶

An evaluator that calculates the edit distance between JSON strings.

This evaluator computes a normalized Damerau-Levenshtein distance between two JSON strings after parsing them and converting them to a canonical format (i.e., whitespace and key order are normalized). It can be customized with alternative distance and canonicalization functions.

Parameters

  • string_distance (Optional[Callable[[str, str], float]]) – A callable that computes the distance between two strings. If not provided, a Damerau-Levenshtein distance from the rapidfuzz package will be used.

  • canonicalize (Optional[Callable[[Any], Any]]) – A callable that converts a parsed JSON object into its canonical string form. If not provided, the default behavior is to serialize the JSON with sorted keys and no extra whitespace.

  • **kwargs (Any) – Additional keyword arguments.

_string_distance¶

The internal distance computation function.

Type

Callable[[str, str], float]

_canonicalize¶

The internal canonicalization function.

Type

Callable[[Any], Any]

Examples

>>> evaluator = JsonEditDistanceEvaluator()
>>> result = evaluator.evaluate_strings(prediction='{"a": 1, "b": 2}', reference='{"a": 1, "b": 3}')
>>> assert result["score"] is not None
Raises

ImportError – If rapidfuzz is not installed and no alternative string_distance function is provided.

Parameters

  • string_distance (Optional[Callable[[str, str], float]]) –

  • canonicalize (Optional[Callable[[Any], Any]]) –

  • kwargs (Any) –
