Frequently asked questions
Is YAML a superset of JSON?
Essentially yes — valid JSON is also valid YAML — but YAML's indentation-based style is easier to read and edit by hand.
Are comments preserved?
No. JSON has no comments, so YAML comments are dropped when converting to JSON.
Is it safe for config files containing secrets?
Conversion runs entirely in your browser, so nothing is sent to a server.
