Token-Oriented Object Notation vs JSON: A Benchmark of Plain and Constrained Decoding Generation
A benchmark study compares Token-Oriented Object Notation (TOON) with JSON for structured data serialization in LLMs, finding that while TOON reduces token usage, plain JSON shows better accuracy overall. The research reveals that TOON's efficiency benefits may only emerge at scale where syntax savings offset the initial prompt overhead.
