# 4.2. Output Parsers

Output parsers can be used when you want to get more structured information than just text back from ChatGPT. They allow you to customize and format the text responses into different types, such as Markdown, HTML, tables, etc. Output parsers can make your life easier and cut down on the amount of copy+paste+reformatting you have to do between ChatGPT and your documents.
