FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
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.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation) - PHP Implementation

PHP Version

Note: This is a PHP implementation based on the original TOON format specification and reference implementations from toon-format/toon

PHP implementation of Token-Oriented Object Notation (TOON), a compact, human-readable serialization format designed for passing structured data to Large Language Models with significantly reduced token usage.

TOON is intended for LLM input, not output. It's particularly efficient for uniform arrays of objects โ€“ multiple fields per row, same structure across items.

Installation

Quick Start

Why TOON?

AI is becoming cheaper and more accessible, but larger context windows allow for larger data inputs as well. LLM tokens still cost money โ€“ and standard JSON is verbose and token-expensive:
