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.
About TSV
TSV (tab-separated values) works like CSV but separates columns with tabs, which makes it the format you get when copying cells out of Excel, Google Sheets or a database client.
How it works
Nested objects are flattened into dot-separated column names (for example address.city) and arrays are written as JSON inside a cell. If your TOON wraps a list in an object, the list is used as the rows.
Private by design
Developer data is often sensitive: API responses, tokens, customer records, internal configs. This TOON to TSV processes everything locally in your browser tab. There is no server round-trip, no logging and no storage of your input.
