CBOR codec (RFC 8949, RFC 8742) with CBOR tags, Go struct tag options (toarray, keyasint, omitempty, omitzero), float64/32/16, big.Int, and fuzz tested.
Human readable and writable interchange format for structured data.
TOON encoding for Laravel. Encode data for AI/LLMs with ~50% fewer tokens than JSON.
Token-efficient data serialization for LLM/AI. 50% fewer tokens than JSON, 93% better value/token. Rust, schema validation, LSP.
A JSON alternative for sane people. Combination of simplicity & power. Check it out!

🚀 ZON: A high-performance, zero-copy binary format that is 6.2x faster than JSON. Schema-less, 64-byte aligned, and architected for Rust, WASM, & Node.js.
Go implementation of Koda format with zero-copy decoding, streaming support, and low-latency data processing
LNP is a compact, deterministic, length-prefixed data serialization format. It encodes structured data (objects, arrays, primitives, and binary) using a minimal grammar and unambiguous parsing rules.
Fork of toon-format/toon with GCF comparison. GCF uses 34% fewer tokens on their own benchmark.
