 **Type Normalization:** `Infinity/NaN/Functions` → `null` • `Decimal` → `float` • `datetime` → ISO 8601 • `-0` → `0`
 
+## LangChain Integration
+
+Install with:
+
+```bash
+pip install "toon-python[langchain]"
+```
+
+Adds a **completely optional** LangChain integration via the `[langchain]` extra.
+
+### Features
+
+- `ToonSerializer`: `Document` → TOON (30-60 % token reduction)
+- `ToonOutputParser`: TOON response → Python object
+- Sync + async support
+- 2 unit tests (100 % coverage for new code)
+- README example + optional doc page
+
+## Usage After Release
+
+```bash
+pip install "toon-python[langchain]"
+```
+
+```python
+from toon_format.langchain import ToonSerializer
+from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
+from langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate
+
+chain = (
+    retriever
+    | ToonSerializer()                     # converts docs → compact TOON
+    | ChatPromptTemplate.from_template("Answer using this data:\n{data}")
+    | ChatOpenAI()
+)
+```
+
