Converting your CSV to TOON format is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps:

1. Paste Your CSV: Copy your CSV data and paste it into the Input CSV editor on the left side.
2. Choose Delimiter: Select your preferred delimiter character (Comma, Pipe, or Tab) from the dropdown menu. This determines how values are separated in arrays.
3. Set Indentation: Choose the indentation style - 2 spaces for compact output, 4 spaces for better readability, or 0 for minified format.
4. Optional Length Markers: Enable the "Show Length Markers" toggle to add character count at the end of each line (useful for debugging).
5. Convert Automatically: The tool auto-converts as you type or change settings. You can also click the "Convert to TOON" button for manual conversion.
6. Review Results: Check the TOON Output on the right side to see your converted data.
7. Copy Output: Click the "Copy" button to copy the TOON-formatted text to your clipboard.

TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation) is a revolutionary data format specifically designed to optimize data transmission to Large Language Models (LLMs).

Unlike traditional CSV or JSON, TOON uses a hierarchical structure that's more readable and efficient. It eliminates unnecessary syntax overhead while maintaining complete data integrity, reducing token consumption by 20-40% compared to standard CSV representations in JSON.

[
  {"name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "NYC"},
  {"name": "Jane", "age": 25, "city": "LA"}
]

- name: John
  age: 30
  city: NYC
- name: Jane
  age: 25
  city: LA

TOON is perfect for applications where token efficiency matters - API costs, context window limits, and faster response times. It's fully compatible with all major LLMs including GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, and more.
