LLM Optimization
Reduce token usage and improve LLM response quality with optimized data formats.
Overview
When building applications with Large Language Models, every token counts. Using TOON instead of JSON uses about 43% fewer tokens on average (42.6% in the official TOON v4.1 benchmark), directly translating to lower API costs and faster responses. TOON's explicit structure also helps LLMs better understand your data.
Key Benefits
- ✓About 43% fewer tokens on average
