About TOON
TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation) is a compact encoding of JSON designed for LLM prompts. It uses YAML-style nesting and CSV-style rows for uniform arrays, typically cutting token counts substantially compared with JSON.
Private by design
Developer data is often sensitive: API responses, tokens, customer records, internal configs. This TOON Formatter processes everything locally in your browser tab. There is no server round-trip, no logging and no storage of your input.
