While JSON and similar formats serve general purposes, TOON achieves 30-60% token reduction for tabular data through compact syntax, particularly for arrays of uniform objects. The format maintains human readability, deterministic encoding, and strict validation while modeling JSON-compatible data types. + +### Specification Scope + +This specification defines: + +- The abstract data model (Section 2) +- Type normalization rules for encoders (Section 3) +- Concrete syntax and formatting rules (Sections 5-12) +- Parsing and decoding semantics (Section 4) +- Conformance requirements for encoders, decoders, and validators (Section 13) +- Security and internationalization considerations (Sections 15-16) ## 1. Terminology and Conventions +### Core Concepts + - TOON document: A sequence of UTF-8 text lines formatted according to this spec. - Line: A sequence of non-newline characters terminated by LF (U+000A) in serialized form. Encoders MUST use LF. + +### Structural Terms + - Indentation level (depth): Leading indentation measured in fixed-size space units (indentSize). Depth 0 has no indentation. - Indentation unit (indentSize): A fixed number of spaces per level (default 2). Tabs MUST NOT be used for indentation. + +### Array Terms + - Header: The bracketed declaration for arrays, optionally followed by a field list, and terminating with a colon; e.g., key[3]: or items[2]{a,b}:. - Field list: Brace-enclosed, delimiter-separated list of field names for tabular arrays: {f1f2}. - List item: A line beginning with "- " at a given depth representing an element in an expanded array. +- Length marker: Optional "#" prefix for array lengths in headers, e.g., [#3]. Decoders MUST accept and ignore it semantically. + +### Delimiter Terms + - Delimiter: The character used to separate array/tabular values: comma (default), tab (HTAB, U+0009), or pipe ("|"). - Document delimiter: The encoder-selected delimiter used for quoting decisions outside any array scope (default comma). -- Active delimiter: The delimiter declared by the closest array header in scope, used to split inline primitive arrays and tabular rows under that header; it also governs quoting decisions for values within that array’s scope. -- Length marker: Optional "#" prefix for array lengths in headers, e.g., [#3]. Decoders MUST accept and ignore it semantically. +- Active delimiter: The delimiter declared by the closest array header in scope, used to split inline primitive arrays and tabular rows under that header; it also governs quoting decisions for values within that array's scope. + +### Type Terms + - Primitive: string, number, boolean, or null. - Object: Mapping from string keys to JsonValue. - Array: Ordered sequence of JsonValue. - JsonValue: Primitive | Object | Array. + +### Conformance Terms + - Strict mode: Decoder mode that enforces counts, indentation, and delimiter consistency; also rejects invalid escapes and missing colons (default: true). -Notation: +### Notation + - Regular expressions appear in slash-delimited form. - ABNF snippets follow RFC 5234; HTAB means the U+0009 character. -- Examples are informative unless stated otherwise. ## 2.

TOON carries the JSON data model; it is a transport/authoring format with explicit structure, not an extended type system or schema language. -## Introduction +Out of scope: +- comments and annotations, +- alternative number systems or locale-specific formatting, +- user-defined escape sequences or control directives. -TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation) is a serialization format optimized for Large Language Model contexts where token count directly impacts costs, context capacity, and latency. While JSON and similar formats serve general purposes, TOON achieves 30-60% token reduction for tabular data through compact syntax, particularly for arrays of uniform objects. The format maintains human readability, deterministic encoding, and strict validation while modeling JSON-compatible data types. +### Relationship to JSON, CSV, and YAML (Informative) -### Specification Scope +- **JSON**: TOON preserves the JSON data model. It is more compact for uniform arrays of objects by declaring length and fields once. For non-uniform or deeply nested data, JSON may be more efficient. +- **CSV/TSV**: CSV is typically more compact for flat tables but lacks nesting and type awareness. TOON adds explicit lengths, per-array delimiter scoping, field lists, and deterministic quoting, while remaining lightweight. +- **YAML**: TOON uses indentation and hyphen markers but is more constrained and deterministic: no comments, explicit array headers with lengths, fixed quoting rules, and a narrow escape set. -This specification defines: +### Example (Informative) -- The abstract data model (Section 2) -- Type normalization rules for encoders (Section 3) -- Concrete syntax and formatting rules (Sections 5-12) -- Parsing and decoding semantics (Section 4) -- Conformance requirements for encoders, decoders, and validators (Section 13) -- Security and internationalization considerations (Sections 15-16) +``` +users[2]{id,name,role}: + 1,Alice,admin + 2,Bob,user +``` + +### Document roadmap + +Normative rules are organized as follows: +- Data model and canonical number form (§2); normalization on encode (§3); decoding interpretation (§4). +- Concrete syntax, including root-form determination (§5) and header syntax (§6). +- Strings and keys (§7); objects (§8); arrays and their sub-forms (§9); objects as list items (§10); delimiter rules (§11). +- Indentation and whitespace (§12); conformance and options (§13). +- Strict-mode errors (authoritative checklist) (§14). + +Appendices are informative unless stated otherwise and provide examples, parsing helpers, and implementation guidance. ## 1.
