ZON v1.0.0 - Entropy Engine (First Official Release)
🚀 ZON v1.0.0 - Entropy Engine
First Official Release - Production-ready data serialization format optimized for LLM token efficiency.
🎯 What is ZON?
Zero Overhead Notation (ZON) is a human-readable data format that achieves 24-40% better compression than TOON and 30-42% compression vs JSON on real-world data, while remaining 100% readable and debuggable.
✨ Key Features
- 🧠 Entropy Tournament: Automatically selects optimal compression strategy per column
- 📊 8 Compression Strategies: ENUM, VALUE, DELTA, GAS_INT, GAS_PAT, GAS_MULT, LIQUID, SOLID
- 👁️ Human Readable: Unlike binary formats, ZON is plain text
- ✅ 100% Lossless: Guaranteed perfect reconstruction with safety anchors
- ⚡ Zero Configuration: Works out of the box
📈 Performance Benchmarks

🔧 Installation
pip install zon-format
💡 Quick Start
python
import zon
# Your data
data = [
{"id": 1, "name": "Alice", "role": "Admin"},
{"id": 2, "name": "Bob", "role": "User"}
]
# Compress
compressed = zon.encode(data)
# Decompress
original = zon.decode(compressed)🤖 LLM Integration
Works seamlessly with:
- OpenAI (GPT-3.5, GPT-4)
- Anthropic Claude
- LangChain
- LlamaIndex
- Hugging Face Transformers
- Cost Savings: Reduces LLM API costs by 30-40% through fewer tokens!
