#dataFormats
I feel like the "state of the art" for designing extensible protocols is like, really really bad.

we keep making more and more complex dataformats, and I feel like none of them address the actual core issue of figuring out what should be done if an extension isn't supported

If it doesn't look like a straight-up .txt file, it's not a reliable specification.

Ok. With furious urgency, I tried FOURTH fix -- third hardest so far, for github.com/FasterXML/ja... -- and things went well until I... Pro Subsciber... finally ran out of tokens :-)

So time to take a break.

This has been fun. And scary. And.... transformative.

While JSON is common, other formats like YAML or XML might offer advantages for structured LLM outputs. Consider them for better reliability, easier parsing, or token efficiency depending on your specific application needs. #DataFormats 5/5
January 18, 2026 at 5:00 AM
While JSON dominates, alternatives like YAML, TOML, & XML offer different trade-offs. YAML's "Norway problem" shows how readability can hide parsing pitfalls. Choosing a format means balancing human ease with machine efficiency & avoiding unexpected issues. #DataFormats 3/5
January 3, 2026 at 5:00 AM
The discussion also covers text vs. binary formats like JSON vs. Protobuf. While text offers human readability, binary formats often excel in compression efficiency and CPU usage for machine-to-machine data transfer. #DataFormats 5/5
December 28, 2025 at 11:00 AM
Table format significantly impacts performance! Key-value pair formats (like Markdown KV) generally outperform index-based ones (like CSV) for LLM extraction. Consider token efficiency and format trade-offs for optimal results. #DataFormats 7/7
