Raon stand's for Raph's Object Notation but it also means "happy" or "joyful" in Korean.

Raon is a portable serialization format meant to take the best parts (in my opinion) of TOML and JSON and create a language that's intuitive to use with no footguns. The intended use of this format is for configuration files and for sending and receiving responses.

Raon vs TOML
