$ cat FAQ.md
Why convert JSON to YAML?
YAML is often preferred for configuration files because it is more human-readable than JSON. It supports comments, has less syntactic noise (no braces or quotes for keys), and uses indentation for structure. Many tools like Docker Compose, Kubernetes, and Ansible use YAML for their configs.
Does the conversion preserve data types?
Yes. Numbers, booleans, strings, arrays, and objects are all correctly converted to their YAML equivalents. Null values are represented as 'null' in the YAML output.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. All conversion happens entirely in your browser using the js-yaml library. Your JSON data never leaves your device.
