Overview

TOON: Token-Oriented Object Notation

TOON is a compact, human-readable, schema-aware JSON for LLM prompts. Spec, benchmarks, TypeScript SDK.

It saves the token usage for LLMs by reducing the verbosity of traditional JSON while maintaining structure and readability.

Example:

Traditional JSON:

{
  "fruits": [
    { "id": 1, "name": "Apple", "color": "red" },
    { "id": 2, "name": "Banana", "color": "yellow" },
    { "id": 3, "name": "Grapes", "color": "purple" }
  ]
}

TOON Representation:

fruits[3]{id,name,color}:
  1,Apple,red
  2,Banana,yellow
  3,Grapes,purple
