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

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
