If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.

Informations about the package json-to-toon

json-to-toon

Tests License: MIT

json-to-toon is a lightweight PHP library that converts verbose JSON into a compact, LLM-optimized format called TOON. The TOON format preserves structure while minimizing token usage, improving context efficiency for large language models such as ChatGPT and Claude.

This implementation follows the TOON Specification v2.0, supporting arrays, nested objects, primitives, and non-uniform structures — including compact representation of associative and nested data.

Installation

You can install the library via Composer:

Overview

Traditional JSON structures are often verbose and redundant, especially when serialized for language models. json-to-toon introduces a concise syntax that encodes data in a tabular form, preserving semantics while reducing size.

Example

Input JSON:

Converted Toon:

This representation is shorter, token-efficient, and ideal for transmitting structured context to LLMs such as ChatGPT or Claude.

Usage

From PHP Array

From JSON String

Output

Compact Mode

json-to-toon automatically encodes associative objects using the compact TOON syntax:

Output

Nested arrays are represented recursively:
