JSON to TOON

Convert JSON to TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation) format for more efficient LLM prompts. TOON reduces token usage by 30-60% compared to JSON while maintaining lossless conversion.

How It Works

  1. 1

    Paste your JSON data into the input field

  2. 2

    The tool converts JSON to compact TOON format

  3. 3

    View token count comparison and reduction percentage

  4. 4

    Copy or download the TOON output for use in LLM prompts

Use Cases

  • Reduce API costs when sending data to LLMs like GPT-4, Claude, or Gemini

  • Fit more context into limited token windows

  • Speed up LLM processing with smaller input sizes

  • Optimize prompt engineering workflows

  • Create token-efficient data representations for AI applications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is TOON format?

TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation) is a lightweight serialization format designed to reduce LLM token usage by 30-60% compared to JSON. It maintains human readability and supports lossless conversion.

How much can I reduce token usage?

Token reduction varies by data structure. Uniform arrays typically see 40-60% reduction, while nested or semi-uniform structures achieve 15-35% reduction. The tool shows exact savings for your data.

Is the conversion lossless?

Yes, TOON supports the full JSON data model. You can convert JSON to TOON and back without any data loss.

Can I use TOON with any LLM?

Yes, TOON can be used with any LLM that accepts text input (GPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.). Simply paste TOON-formatted data into your prompts to save tokens.
