Advanced Data Format Management - Comprehensive data handling covering TOON encoding, JSON/YAML optimization, serialization patterns, and data validation for performance-critical applications.
Core Capabilities:
TOON Encoding: 40-60% token reduction vs JSON for LLM communication
JSON/YAML Optimization: Efficient serialization and parsing patterns
Data Validation: Schema validation, type checking, error handling
Format Conversion: Seamless transformation between data formats
Performance: Optimized data structures and caching strategies
Schema Management: Dynamic schema generation and evolution
When to Use:
Optimizing data transmission to LLMs within token budgets
High-performance serialization/deserialization
Schema validation and data integrity
Format conversion and data transformation
Large dataset processing and optimization
Quick Start:
Create a TOONEncoder instance and call encode with a dictionary containing user and age fields to compress the data. The encoded result achieves 40-60% token reduction. Call decode to restore the original data structure.
Create a JSONOptimizer instance and call serialize_fast with a large dataset to achieve ultra-fast JSON processing.
Create a DataValidator instance and call create_schema with a dictionary defining name as a required string type. Call validate with the data and schema to check validity.
Create a TOONEncoder instance. Define data with user object containing id, name, active boolean, and created datetime, plus permissions array. Call encode to compress and decode to restore. Compare sizes to verify reduction.
Fast JSON Processing:
Create a JSONOptimizer instance. Call serialize_fast to get bytes and deserialize_fast to parse. Use compress_schema with a type object and properties definition to optimize repeated validation.
Data Validation:
Create a DataValidator instance. Define user_schema with username requiring string type, minimum length 3, email requiring email type, and age as optional integer with minimum value 13. Call validate with user_data and schema, then check result for valid status, sanitized_data, or errors list.
Create a function to optimize API responses for LLM consumption by encoding data with TOONEncoder. Create a corresponding function to parse optimized responses by decoding TOON data back to dictionary.
Configuration Management:
Create a YAMLOptimizer instance and call load_fast with a config file path. Call merge_configs with base_config, env_config, and user_config for multi-file merging.
Large Dataset Processing:
Create a StreamProcessor with chunk_size of 8192. Define a process_item function that handles each item. Call process_json_stream with the file path and callback to process large JSON files without loading into memory.
