Frequently Asked Questions

Why use YAML instead of JSON?

YAML is more human-readable than JSON because it uses indentation instead of braces and does not require quotes around most strings. It is the preferred format for Kubernetes, Docker Compose, GitHub Actions, and many DevOps configuration files.

Does it handle nested JSON correctly?

Yes, nested objects and arrays are converted to properly indented YAML with correct hierarchy preserved at every level.

Are comments supported in the output?

YAML supports comments (using #) but JSON does not, so comments are not generated during conversion. You can add them manually to the YAML output.
