TONL is a cutting-edge data platform built around a production-ready serialization format designed to be both compact and powerful, combining human readability with performance features that make it suitable for large-scale applications and AI workflows. It provides a serialization format that significantly reduces token usage compared with traditional JSON, which can result in lower costs and more efficient prompt size utilization in LLM-driven systems. TONL isn’t just a format — it includes a rich API for querying, indexing, modifying, and streaming data, along with tools for schema validation and TypeScript code generation. The platform comes with a complete command-line interface that supports interactive dashboards and cross-platform usage in browsers and server environments, and its high test coverage gives developers confidence in stability.
