Frequently Asked Questions

Does YAML formatting matter? expand_more
Yes. YAML uses whitespace and indentation for structure, so incorrect indentation causes parse errors. Two-space indentation is the universal convention.
Can I convert YAML to JSON? expand_more
Not directly in this tool, but use our JSON to YAML converter which also supports converting YAML back to JSON.
