Frequently asked questions
- Which YAML features are supported?
- Standard block-style YAML: mappings, sequences, scalars (string, number, boolean, null), 2-space indentation, and inline flow collections. Anchors and tags are not supported.
- Why use YAML over JSON?
- YAML is easier to read and edit by humans (comments, no trailing commas, less punctuation). Popular for configuration files like docker-compose and Kubernetes manifests.
- Does it preserve key order?
- Yes. JavaScript object iteration preserves insertion order for string keys, so the JSON key order is maintained in the YAML output.
- Is my data uploaded anywhere?
- No. Everything runs locally in your browser. No network calls are made for conversion.
