ISON-format/ison
🔥 🔥 Alternative to JSON 🔥 🔥
ISON is a data format that helps AI developers and machine learning engineers exchange structured information with large language models more efficiently. It takes human-readable, tabular data and converts it into a token-optimized format for AI systems, reducing costs and improving performance. This is used by anyone building or interacting with AI models, especially in multi-agent or RAG workflows.
126 stars.
Use this if you are building AI applications and need a highly token-efficient way for Large Language Models to process and generate structured data.
Not ideal if your primary concern is broad interoperability with existing systems that exclusively use JSON, or if you are not working with LLMs or AI agents.
