The recently released Token-Oriented Object Notation (TOON) aims to be a schema-aware alternative to JSON that significantly reduces token consumption at a similar level of accuracy. While the existence and importance of token saved depend on the data shape. some benchmarks show TOON may use in some cases 40% fewer tokens than JSON, possibly resulting in LLM and inference cost savings.
