How does this skill improve data processing performance?

It leverages ultra-fast libraries like orjson and ijson for serialization and streaming, providing 2-5x faster processing speeds than standard Python JSON libraries.

Is it possible to convert between different data formats?

Absolutely. The skill provides utilities for seamless, lossless transformation between TOON, JSON, YAML, and other common data structures.

Can I use this for data validation?

Yes, it supports comprehensive schema validation using patterns from Pydantic, Cerberus, and JSON Schema to ensure strict data integrity and type safety.

What is TOON encoding?

TOON (Token-Optimized Object Notation) is a custom encoding format designed to reduce token usage by 40-60% compared to standard JSON, making it highly efficient for LLM communication.
