TeaLeaf is a data format that combines:

  • Human-readable text (.tl) for editing and version control
  • Compact binary (.tlbx) for storage and transmission
  • Inline schemas for validation and compression
  • JSON interoperability for easy integration
Copilot says: AI-generated

A clever data format that slashes your JSON bloat by defining schemas inline — field names appear once instead of repeated on every record, cutting LLM input tokens by ~51% while staying human-readable.

Key features:

  • 📝 Human-readable text format compiles to compact binary for storage and transmission
  • 🧠 51% fewer tokens than JSON makes LLM context windows go further
  • 🔄 JSON interoperability so you can easily convert back and forth
  • 📐 Inline schemas mean validation and compression without external files
