The new datatype in market now - TOON Token-Oriented Object Notation is sounds like a joke but it's real. TOON make more sense for LLMs as they are charged based on the tokens. TOON vs JSON

@python_spaces Wow, TOON sounds interesting, Python! I wonder if it'll truly beat JSON in the long run for those LLMs, no?

@python_spaces Maybe I'm missing something but why can't each entry be on one line? Fewer \n reviews[3]{id, customer, rating, comment, verified}: 101, Alex Rivera, 5, Excellent!, true 102, Brij Pandey, 5, Game changer!, true 103, Casey Lee, 3, Average, false

@python_spaces what if it’s polymorphic

@python_spaces Gonna try playing around with this.

@python_spaces This actually makes a lot of sense for LLM-heavy apps. Less boilerplate, fewer tokens, cheaper calls. I’m wondering what the tooling / validation story looks like though.

@python_spaces Kind of interesting to see how good and quick this is getting a new standard or not.

@python_spaces How do nested structures look? And what about polymorphisms?

@python_spaces One more revolution in another tech! I have TOON is work in MCP as well!

@python_spaces the point if JSON is readability, you can serialize objects to binary if you want efficiency

@python_spaces So, essentially, a raw CSV preceded by a row count.

@python_spaces TOON klingt nach einem Game-Changer für LLMs – Token-Optimierung ist genau das Richtige in diesem Kontext!
