Thanks for reaching out, Utkarsh. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Thanks — I want to make sure I answer precisely. When you say "TOON," do you mean: • a specific protocol or codec (please share the full name), • a third‑party service or SDK named TOON, or • something else (an app, feature, or format)? If you can share a link or one sentence describing what TOON does, I’ll confirm whether LiveKit supports it or suggest the closest alternatives and any integration approaches.

Token-Oriented Object Notation (TOON)

Thanks — that's helpful. You're asking whether LiveKit supports Token-Oriented Object Notation (TOON). TOON is not mentioned in our information, so LiveKit does not have built‑in support for a format specifically named TOON. If your goal is to exchange structured data alongside LiveKit sessions (for example, signaling, metadata, or application messages), here are ways you can accomplish similar outcomes: • Use LiveKit's DataChannels to send arbitrary serialized payloads between participants. You can serialize your TOON messages to bytes or strings and transmit them over a DataChannel. • Attach metadata to participants or tracks where appropriate (for small pieces of data) and update/read that metadata from your application. • If you need server-side processing or storage of TOON messages, send them from clients to your application server (over HTTP/WebSocket), process or persist them there, and forward relevant updates through LiveKit DataChannels or REST APIs. If you want, tell me: • How you plan to use TOON with LiveKit (signaling, state sync, message history, etc.), and • Which SDK/platform you’re using (browser, iOS, Android, or server). I can then suggest a concrete integration pattern and example payload handling.
