In plain words
Homogenius is a packer and unpacker tool that reduces the file size of homogeneous JSON data by eliminating repeated keys and values. It is designed for developers who work with large JSON files containing repetitive structures. The current version removes duplicate keys, with plans to also eliminate redundant values in future releases.

From the sources
Homogenius is a packing/unpacking technique to reduce the size of homogenous JSON files. The main point of Homogenius is to prevent repeating keys and values in a homogenous JSON format, so this reduces the size of the JSON file. Currently we are in the first version of Homogenius and in this initial version, we are going to prevent repeating keys only. Further, we will alter Homogenius so it also prevents repeating values also. [ [{ "boo" : 1 }, { "nested" : [{ "boo_nested" : 1 }, { "foo_nested" : 1 }, { "bar_nested" : 1 }] }, { "bar" : 1 }], [ [ "val1" ], [ [ "val_nested1" ], [ "val_nested2" ], [ "val_nested3" ] ], [ "val2" ] ], [ 0 , [ 0 , 0 , 0 ], 0 ], [ 0 , [ 0 , 0 , 0 ], 0 ] ]…from homogenius.github.io

During the course of prompt tuning I ended up with a pretty complicated request: the value that I was looking for, an explanation, a criticism, etc. JSON was the most natural output format for this but results would often be broken, have wrong types, or contain missing fields. There's been some positive movement in this space, like with jsonformer (https://github.com/1rgs/jsonformer) the other day. But nothing that was plug and play with GPT. This library consolidates…
