Token-Oriented Object Notation for Go – JSON for LLMs at half the token cost

Why this job: works in the areas we cover, but does not say which job it does

Picture from the alpkeskin/gotoon README

What it does

  • Token-efficient. typically 30–60% fewer tokens than JSON
  • LLM-friendly guardrails. explicit lengths and field lists help models validate output
  • Minimal syntax. removes redundant punctuation (braces, brackets, most quotes)
  • Indentation-based structure. replaces braces with whitespace for better readability
  • Tabular arrays. declare keys once, then stream rows without repetition

Get started

No single install command. Read the steps in the README (opens in new tab)
