CToon Python API

CToon is a high-performance C serialisation library with Python bindings built via nanobind. It provides a compact, human-readable alternative to JSON designed to minimise LLM token usage.

import ctoon

data = {"name": "Alice", "age": 30, "tags": ["developer", "C++"]}

toon_str = ctoon.dumps(data)   # encode → TOON
data      = ctoon.loads(toon_str)  # decode ← TOON
