What is JSON?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a widely used data-interchange format that represents structured data using readable key–value pairs. It is commonly used in APIs, configuration files, and backend systems.

Typical use cases include API responses, configuration storage, and data exchange between services.

What is TOON?

TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation) is a compact representation of structured data designed to minimize token usage. It removes redundancy while preserving meaning.

TOON is ideal for AI pipelines, prompt optimization, and environments where token count or payload size matters.

JSON vs TOON — Example

{
        "name": "Alice",
        "age": 30,
        "active": true
      }

n=Alice;a=30;act=1

Token counts are approximate and may vary depending on tokenizer and environment.
