TSON – A JSON superset with immutable, hash-pinned schemas

TSON is a new schema system that functions as a JSON superset, utilizing immutable, hash-pinned schemas to ensure data integrity. It provides a unified format for both data and schema definitions, aiming to make structured data validation more readable and reliable.
Why it matters
It offers a robust alternative to standard JSON for applications requiring strict data contracts and verifiable schema chains.
TSON (Typed Schema Object Notation) is a schema system with immutable, hash-pinned schemas whose definitions are themselves data. A document names its schema, the schema names its meta-schema; one hash verifies the whole chain . The finishing touch, TSON's data format is a Unicode-first superset of JSON you'll actually enjoy writing.
