Frequently Asked Questions
Can this convert YAML back to JSON too?
Yes. The swap button flips the tool into YAML→JSON mode, swaps the current input/output text, and updates the labels and button text.
Will it handle full YAML features like anchors or block scalars?
No. The parser is intentionally minimal: simple key/value pairs, lists, nested indentation, quoted strings, booleans, nulls, and basic numbers.
Why are some strings quoted in the YAML output?
Strings with special YAML-significant characters, newlines, leading or trailing spaces, or empty content are JSON-quoted so they round-trip safely.
Do comments or yes/no values survive when converting YAML to JSON?
Comment lines are ignored. yes/no map to true/false, and ~ maps to null.
Does it convert live, or only after clicking the button?
It auto-converts about 400ms after input changes. The button just runs the current mode immediately.
