The article introduces Token-Oriented Object Notation (TOON), a compact and efficient data format designed for structured data input to Large Language Models (LLMs), achieving a token reduction of 30-60% compared to JSON. TOON combines elements of YAML and CSV to improve readability and token efficiency, making it particularly useful for uniform complex objects. It provides benchmarks demonstrating significant token savings over traditional formats like JSON and XML.
