    """Extract text content from model outputs as a string.

    Converts model outputs (such as `AIMessage` or `AIMessageChunk` objects) into plain
    text strings. It's the simplest output parser and is useful when you need string
    responses for downstream processing, display, or storage.

    Supports streaming, yielding text chunks as they're generated by the model.

    Example:
        ```python
        from langchain_core.output_parsers import StrOutputParser
        from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

        model = ChatOpenAI(model="openai:gpt-5.5")
        parser = StrOutputParser()

        # Get string output from a model
        message = model.invoke("Tell me a joke")
        result = parser.invoke(message)
        print(result)  # plain string

        # With streaming - use transform() to process a stream
        stream = model.stream("Tell me a story")
        for chunk in parser.transform(stream):
            print(chunk, end="", flush=True)
        ```
