SKU-415,Desk mat,19,0CSV output is 7% smaller than the TOON input. The same data is 252 characters as minified JSON and 373 as pretty-printed JSON. Sizes are character counts, not tokens: token counts depend on the model's tokenizer (see the tokenizer comparison). Across larger datasets, TOON averages about 43% fewer tokens than JSON (42.6%) according to the official TOON benchmark.
TOON to CSV: what changes
- Reading TOON: TOON is strict about structure: the [N] in an array header must match the number of rows, and each row needs exactly as many values as the {field} list. Hand-edited TOON that breaks either rule fails to decode.
- Writing CSV: CSV output needs a root-level array of flat objects; anything else fails with "CSV output requires an array of objects". Nested objects are not flattened, so extract or flatten them first.
