What does research say about: Google Gemini's native JSON mode eliminates output repair costs?

Gemini's response_mime_type: 'application/json' parameter guarantees valid JSON on every response, eliminating the $0.002-0.01 per-request cost of JSON repair and retry logic. (Source: Google, 'Gemini API: Structured Output with JSON Mode' documentation, 2024). Without native JSON mode, teams build custom retry-and-repair middleware that adds latency, maintenance cost, and fails on edge cases like nested escaped strings.
