Why I spent a year building a lightweight alternative to JSON

Data shouldn't be a burden on your infrastructure. Since last year, I’ve been working on Lytok, a project driven by the need for extreme data efficiency.

In this post, I break down how Lytok achieves:

• 44.80% fewer tokens for AI contexts.

• 60% less disk space for long-term storage.

• Native support for complex types that JSON simply can't handle efficiently.

This isn't just about speed—it's about a smarter way to move and store information.
