Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/13038

Currently, there is a discussion about using TOON instead of JSON to achieve a token economy, which would be highly profitable. Ollama could work with both JSON and TOON.

There aren't any plans for this currently, but if enough people ask for it, we'd definitely consider it!

it would be great if there was sth like a toon schema that allows defining a valid structure. json schema definitions require a lot of tokens and are used in every prompt. scaling this down would be a massive boost in efficiency.
