**Token-Oriented Object Notation** is a compact, human-readable encoding of the JSON data model for LLM prompts. It provides a lossless serialization of the same objects, arrays, and primitives as JSON, but in a syntax that minimizes tokens and makes structure easy for models to follow.
**Token-Oriented Object Notation** is a compact, human-readable encoding of the JSON data model that minimizes tokens and makes structure easy for models to follow. It's intended for *LLM input* as a lossless, drop-in representation of JSON data.
TOON combines YAML's indentation-based structure for nested objects with a CSV-style tabular layout for uniform arrays. TOON's sweet spot is uniform arrays of objects (multiple fields per row, same structure across items), achieving CSV-like compactness while adding explicit structure that helps LLMs parse and validate data reliably. For deeply nested or non-uniform data, JSON may be more efficient.
