Added Siren-style JSON representation of the albums example to quantify Jiron's token efficiency advantage over traditional API formats.
Changes
examples/albums.json- Siren-compliant JSON with properties expanded into name/value object pairsREADME.md- Added JSON example and token usage comparison table after HTML exampleToken Usage
