The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+## [2.0.0-preview] - 2025-01-14
+
+### 🚀 Major Release - ASON 2.0
+
+Complete rewrite of ASON with new syntax, architecture, and optimizations.
+
+### Added
+
+- **New ASON 2.0 Syntax** - Cleaner, more intuitive format
+ - Sections with `@section` syntax (replaces object references)
+ - Semantic references `$var` instead of numeric `#0`
+ - Tabular arrays `[N]{fields}` with pipe `|` delimiter
+ - Dot notation for nested objects `config.debug:true`
+ - Support for inline objects `{key:value}` and inline arrays `[a,b,c]`
+
+- **Lexer → Parser → AST → Compiler Architecture**
+ - Complete modular parsing pipeline
+ - Token-based lexer (`src/lexer/Lexer.js`, `TokenType.js`, `Token.js`)
+ - Recursive descent parser (`src/parser/Parser.js`)
+ - AST nodes (`src/parser/nodes/`)
+ - Optimized compiler/serializer (`src/compiler/Serializer.js`)
+
+- **Advanced Optimizations**
+ - **Inline Compact Objects**: Small objects serialized as `{key:value}` without spaces
+ - **Dot Notation in Schemas**: Nested objects flattened in tabular arrays `[N]{id,price.amount,price.currency}`
+ - **Array Fields in Schemas**: Arrays marked with `[]` suffix `[N]{id,tags[]}`
+ - **minRowsForTabular = 2**: Tabular optimization from just 2 rows
+
+- **Smart Analyzers**
+ - `ReferenceAnalyzer`: Detects repeated strings for `$def:` section
+ - `SectionAnalyzer`: Identifies large objects for `@section` markers
+ - `TabularAnalyzer`: Finds uniform arrays with support for nested objects and arrays
+ - `DefinitionBuilder`: Manages reference definitions
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Breaking**: Complete syntax change from ASON 1.x to ASON 2.0
+ - `&obj0` → `@section` (sections instead of object references)
+ - `#0` → `$var` (semantic variable names)
+ - `@field1,field2` → `[N]{field1,field2}` (explicit count + schema)
+ - `,` → `|` (pipe delimiter in tabular arrays)
+
+- **Improved Compression**
+ - Better detection of optimization opportunities
+ - Combined optimizations (dot notation + arrays + inline objects)
+ - Smarter decisions on when to use each format
+
+- **Enhanced Round-Trip Fidelity**
+ - 100% lossless compression/decompression
+ - Proper handling of edge cases (negative numbers, nested structures)
+ - Fixed YAML-style list parsing at root level
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Parser Bugs**
+ - Fixed YAML-style lists (`-`) not working at root level
+ - Fixed nested object parsing in arrays
+ - Fixed negative number tokenization
+ - Fixed empty object/array handling
+
+- **Serializer Issues**
+ - Fixed duplicate properties in sections
+ - Fixed illogical ordering (sections now appear after primitives)
+ - Fixed proper newline handling
+
+### Documentation
+
+- Updated `/docs/index.html` - ASON 2.0 Playground
+- Updated `/docs/docs.html` - ASON 2.0 Documentation
+- Updated `/docs/benchmarks.html` - ASON 2.0 Benchmarks
+- Updated `/docs/tokenizer.html` - Token Comparison Tool
+- All examples updated to ASON 2.0 syntax
+
+### Performance
+
+- **20-60% token reduction** vs JSON (maintained from 1.x)
+- **Improved human readability** with semantic references
+- **Better LLM compatibility** with cleaner syntax
+- **Scalable format** suitable for large datasets
+
+### Migration Guide
+
+ASON 1.x is **not compatible** with ASON 2.0. To migrate:
+
+1. Recompress your data with ASON 2.0
+2. Update any manual ASON strings to new syntax
+3. See `/docs/docs.html` for complete syntax reference
+
+### Internal Changes
+
+- Complete rewrite of codebase (Lexer → Parser → AST → Compiler)
+- Improved test coverage (30 passing tests)
+- Better separation of concerns
+- Modular analyzer system
+- Cleaner code organization
+

-## Compression Techniques
+## ASON 2.0 Format
-### 1. Uniform Arrays
+### 1. Sections (`@section`)
-Extracts common keys to a header:
+Organize related properties (saves tokens with 3+ fields):
```javascript
-// Before (JSON)
-[
- { id: 1, name: "Alice" },
- { id: 2, name: "Bob" }
-]
+// JSON
+{
+ "customer": {
+ "name": "John",
+ "email": "john@ex.com",
+ "phone": "+1-555-0100"
+ }
+}
-// After (ASON)
-users:[2]@id,name
-1,Alice
-2,Bob
+// ASON 2.0
+@customer
+ name:John
+ email:john@ex.com
+ phone:"+1-555-0100"
```
-**Savings:** ~60% for large uniform arrays
+### 2. Tabular Arrays (`[N]{fields}`)
-### 2. Object References
+CSV-like format for uniform data:
-Deduplicates repeated objects:
+```javascript
+// JSON
+{
+ "items": [
+ { "id": 1, "name": "Laptop", "price": 999 },
+ { "id": 2, "name": "Mouse", "price": 29 }
+ ]
+}
+
+// ASON 2.0
+items:[2]{id,name,price}
+1|Laptop|999
+2|Mouse|29
+```
+
+### 3. Semantic References (`$var`)
+
+Deduplicate repeated values:
```javascript
-// Before (JSON)
+// JSON
{
- billing: { city: "SF", zip: "94102" },
- shipping: { city: "SF", zip: "94102" }
+ "customer": { "email": "john@example.com" },
+ "billing": { "email": "john@example.com" }
}
-// After (ASON with $def section)
+// ASON 2.0
$def:
-&obj0:
- city:SF
- zip:94102
+ $email:john@example.com
$data:
-billing:&obj0
-shipping:&obj0
+@customer
+ email:$email
+@billing
+ email:$email
```
-**Savings:** ~50% for repeated structures
+### 4. Nested Objects
-### 3. Inline-First Value Dictionary
+Indentation-based structure:
+
+```javascript
+// JSON
+{
+ "order": {
+ "customer": {
+ "address": {
+ "city": "NYC"
+ }
+ }
+ }
+}
-First occurrence shows value, subsequent uses tag:
+// ASON 2.0 (dot notation)
+order.customer.address.city:NYC
+// Or with sections
+@order
+ customer:
+ address:
+ city:NYC
```
-billing.email:customer@example.com #0
-shipping.email:#0 // References first occurrence
+
+## Compression Techniques
+
+### Token Savings by Feature
+
+| Feature | Best For | Token Reduction |
+|---------|----------|-----------------|
+| **Tabular Arrays** | Uniform arrays (3+ items) | ~60% |
+| **Sections** | Objects with 3+ fields | ~30% |
+| **References** | Repeated values/objects | ~50% |
+| **Dot Notation** | Deep nested objects | ~20% |
+| **Inline Objects** | Small objects (≤5 fields) | ~15% |
+| **Schema Dot Notation** | Nested objects in tables | ~40% |
+| **Array Fields** | Arrays in table rows | ~25% |
+
+### Advanced Optimizations (New in 2.0)
+
+#### 1. Inline Compact Objects
+
+Small objects (≤5 properties, primitives only) are serialized inline without spaces:
+
+```javascript
+// JSON
+{ "id": 1, "attrs": { "color": "red", "size": "M" } }
+
+// ASON 2.0
+id:1
+attrs:{color:red,size:M}
```
-**Savings:** ~30% for repeated string values
+#### 2. Dot Notation in Tabular Schemas
+
+Nested objects are flattened in table schemas:
+
+```javascript
+// JSON
+[
+ { "id": 1, "price": { "amount": 100, "currency": "USD" } },
+ { "id": 2, "price": { "amount": 200, "currency": "EUR" } }
+]
+
+// ASON 2.0
+[2]{id,price.amount,price.currency}
+1|100|USD
+2|200|EUR
+```
+
+#### 3. Array Fields in Schemas
+
+Arrays of primitives marked with `[]` suffix:
+
+```javascript
+// JSON
+[
+ { "id": 1, "tags": ["electronics", "sale"] },
+ { "id": 2, "tags": ["clothing"] }
+]
+
+// ASON 2.0
+[2]{id,tags[]}
+1|[electronics,sale]
+2|[clothing]
+```
+
+#### 4. Combined Optimizations
+
+All optimizations work together:
+
+```javascript
+// JSON
+[
+ { "id": 1, "profile": { "age": 30, "city": "NYC" }, "tags": ["admin"] },
+ { "id": 2, "profile": { "age": 25, "city": "LA" }, "tags": ["user", "premium"] }
+]
+
+// ASON 2.0
+[2]{id,profile.age,profile.city,tags[]}
+1|30|NYC|[admin]
+2|25|LA|[user,premium]
+```
+
+### When ASON 2.0 Works Best
+
+✅ **Highly Effective:**
+- Uniform arrays (user lists, product catalogs)
+- Repeated values (emails, addresses)
+- Structured data (orders, records)
+- Mixed nested structures
+
+⚠️ **Less Effective:**
+- Non-uniform arrays (mixed types)
+- Single-occurrence values
+- Very deeply nested unique objects

+
+Compresses and returns detailed statistics.
-**Example:**
```javascript
-const data = compressor.decompress(ason);
+const result = compressor.compressWithStats(data);
+console.log(result.reduction_percent); // e.g., 45.2
+```
+
+##### `validateRoundTrip(data: any): ValidationResult`
+
+Validates compress/decompress round-trip.
+
+```javascript
+const result = compressor.validateRoundTrip(data);
+if (!result.valid) {
+ console.error('Round-trip failed:', result.error);
+}
```
### `TokenCounter`

- * @fileoverview PatternDetector - Automatic detection of repeated array structures
- *
- * This module provides utilities for analyzing JSON data and automatically
- * detecting repeated patterns in uniform object arrays. It's used internally
- * by SmartCompressor for automatic pattern detection without hardcoding.
- *
- * Key Features:
- * - Zero-configuration pattern detection
- * - Tracks pattern frequency and locations
- * - Generates automatic reference names ($0, $1, etc.)
- * - Configurable minimum occurrence threshold
- *

- * a structure reference to reduce repetition.
- *

- * @example
- * const detector = new PatternDetector(3); // Require 3+ occurrences
- * detector.analyze({
- * process: {items: [{id: 1, name: "A"}]},

-/**
- * ASON - Aliased Serialization Object Notation
- *
- * @fileoverview Main compression engine for converting JSON to ASON format.
- * ASON is a token-optimized serialization format designed specifically for LLMs,
- * reducing token usage by 20-60% compared to JSON while maintaining full round-trip fidelity.
- *
- * Key Features:
- * - Automatic pattern detection (no hardcoding required)
- * - Uniform array compression with schema extraction
- * - Object aliasing for repeated structures
- * - Inline-first value dictionary for LLM readability
- * - Path flattening for nested single-property objects
- * - Configurable indentation and delimiters
- *
- * @module SmartCompressor
- * @license MIT
- * @version 1.0.0

- * - ESM imports from dist/index.js
- * - Basic compression/decompression
- * - TypeScript type exports
- * - All public API methods
- *
- * @module dist-integration.test
- * @license MIT
+ * Integration tests for dist/ build
