.tode — Typed Object Described Encapsulation

A compact, schema-aware, type-safe data format for APIs — a design exploration; think TypeScript for JSON payloads.

A design exploration for a compact, schema-aware, type-safe data format intended to replace JSON where type safety, schema validation, and compactness matter — combining YAML's readability, TypeScript's type-safety, and Protobuf-like compactness, while staying self-contained and API-ready.

Experimental: this is a published spec/design; the parser and tooling are not yet implemented.
