Your JSON Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "vendor": {
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
        "name": { "type": "string" },
        "address": { "type": "string" },
        "taxId": { "type": "string" }
      }
    },
    "invoiceNumber": { "type": "string" },
    "date": { "type": "string", "format": "date" },
    "lineItems": {
      "type": "array",
      "items": {
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
          "description": { "type": "string" },
          "quantity": { "type": "number" },
          "unitPrice": { "type": "number" },
          "total": { "type": "number" }
        }
      }
    },
    "subtotal": { "type": "number" },
    "tax": { "type": "number" },
    "total": { "type": "number" }
  },
  "required": ["invoiceNumber", "total"]
}

Extracted Output

  "vendor": {
    "name": "Acme Supplies Inc.",
    "address": "123 Business Ave, NY 10001",
    "taxId": "12-3456789"
