 - `guided_regex`: the output will follow the regex pattern.
 - `guided_json`: the output will follow the JSON schema.
 - `guided_grammar`: the output will follow the context free grammar.
-- `guided_whitespace_pattern`: used to override the default whitespace pattern for guided json decoding.
-- `guided_decoding_backend`: used to select the guided decoding backend to use. Additional backend-specific options can be supplied in a comma separated list following a colon after the backend name. For example `"xgrammar:no-fallback"` will not allow vLLM to fallback to a different backend on error.
+- `structural_tag`: Follow a JSON schema within a set of specified tags within the generated text.

+Structured outputs are supported by default in the OpenAI-Compatible Server. You

+some options. A full set of options is available in the `vllm serve --help`
