How It Works

See how TOON format reduces token count while maintaining data structure. Perfect for LLM applications where every token matters!

Simple Object Conversion

Convert a basic JSON object to TOON format with clean key-value pairs.

Input
{
  "name": "Luna",
  "level": 42,
  "active": true,
  "guild": null
}
Output
name: Luna
level: 42
active: true
guild: null

Nested Objects

TOON uses indentation instead of braces for nested structures, making it more readable.

Input
{
  "player": {
    "name": "Shadow Knight",
    "stats": {
      "health": 100,
      "mana": 50
    }
  }
}
Output
player:
  name: Shadow Knight
  stats:
    health: 100
    mana: 50

Arrays of Primitives

Primitive arrays are displayed inline with explicit length declaration [N].

Input
{
  "inventory": ["sword", "shield", "potion", "map"],
  "scores": [100, 95, 88, 72]
}
Output
inventory[4]: sword,shield,potion,map
scores[4]: 100,95,88,72

Tabular Arrays

Arrays of objects with same fields use efficient tabular format {field1,field2}.

Input
{
  "heroes": [
    {"name": "Ada", "class": "mage", "level": 30},
    {"name": "Bob", "class": "warrior", "level": 25},
    {"name": "Cat", "class": "rogue", "level": 28}
  ]
}
Output
heroes[3]{name,class,level}:
  Ada,mage,30
  Bob,warrior,25
  Cat,rogue,28

Frequently Asked Questions

What is TOON format?

TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation) is a compact format designed for LLM applications. It reduces token count by ~50% compared to JSON while maintaining lossless conversion.

Why use TOON instead of JSON?

When sending data to LLMs, every token costs money and context space. TOON cuts token count significantly, so you can fit more data in prompts or reduce API costs.

Is the conversion lossless?

Yes! TOON preserves all your data. You can convert JSON to TOON and back to JSON without losing any information.

Can I convert TOON back to JSON?

Absolutely! Use our TOON to JSON converter tool to transform TOON format back into standard JSON whenever you need it.
