json2toon-converter measures whether TOON actually saves tokens
A browser-based converter that moves between JSON and TOON, counts tokens across several model tokenizers, and compares the result with minified JSON.
Field notes
The tool accepts structured text, converts it in either direction, and reports token counts against minified JSON rather than indented JSON. Its sample set includes an API response, a plain table, nested configuration, and records containing a list; the displayed outcomes range from TOON at 41% smaller to TOON at 33% larger. The page also exposes delimiter and indentation choices, including comma, tab, and pipe formats.
