EzyToon
=======

[](#ezytoon)

**EzyToon** is a high-performance PHP 8.4+ encoder for the **Token-Oriented Object Notation (TOON)** format (spec v3.3). TOON is designed to be more compact than JSON while remaining human-readable, specifically optimizing for tabular data and nested object structures.

Reference:

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **High Compression**: Significant byte savings compared to JSON (often >50%).
- **Tabular Optimization**: Automatically detects uniform collections and encodes them with a header and delimiter-separated rows.
- **Key Folding**: Optional flattening of single-key nested object chains.
- **Strict Adherence**: Implements full quoting rules (§7) and spec-compliant normalization (ISO 8601 dates, signed zero, etc.).
- **Modern PHP**: Leverages PHP 8.4 features like readonly property promotion.
