Add type-safe models, streaming, plugins, semantic optimization & batch processing

[dino65-dev]

Description

Adds 5 advanced features to TOON Format while maintaining 100% backward compatibility:

• Type-safe integration - Pydantic, dataclasses, attrs support
• Streaming processing - Memory-efficient encoding/decoding for large datasets
• Plugin system - Custom type handlers (UUID, datetime, NumPy, Pandas)
• Semantic optimization - AI-aware token reduction (10-30% additional savings)
• Batch processing - Multi-format conversion with auto-detection

Type of Change

• Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
• New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
• Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
• Documentation update
• Refactoring (no functional changes)
• Performance improvement
• Test coverage improvement

Checklist

• My code follows the project's coding standards (PEP 8, line length 100)
• I have added type hints to new code
• I have added tests that prove my fix/feature works
• New and existing tests pass locally
• I have updated documentation (README.md if needed)
• My changes do not introduce new dependencies

• I have reviewed the TOON specification for relevant sections

Performance Impact

• No performance impact
• Performance improvement (describe below)
• Potential performance regression (describe and justify below)

Details:

• Streaming: O(1) memory vs O(n) (tested with 10K records, <1MB memory)
• Semantic optimization: 10-30% additional token reduction
• Zero overhead when features not used

Breaking Changes

Screenshots / Examples

Type-safe models:

from toon_format import encode_model, decode_model
user = User(name="Alice", age=30)
toon = encode_model(user)  # Preserves types

Output:

name: Alice
age: 30

Streaming:

from toon_format.streaming import StreamEncoder
with StreamEncoder("data.toon") as enc:
    enc.start_array(fields=["id", "name"])
    for i in range(10000): 
        enc.encode_item({"id": i, "name": f"user_{i}"})

Semantic optimization:

from toon_format.semantic import optimize_for_llm
optimized = optimize_for_llm(data, abbreviate_keys=True)

Output:

emp_id: 12345
full_name: Bob Smith
dept_name: Engineering

Additional Context

All features are opt-in imports. Existing encode() and decode() behavior unchanged.

Checklist for Reviewers

• Code changes are clear and well-documented
• Tests adequately cover the changes
