Frequently Asked Questions

What YAML features are supported in the conversion?

The converter supports standard YAML features including scalars, sequences (arrays), mappings (objects), multi-line strings, and basic YAML syntax. Complex YAML features like anchors and references may have limited support.

How are YAML comments handled during conversion?

YAML comments are typically stripped during conversion to JSON since JSON doesn't support comments. The conversion focuses on the data structure rather than preserving comments.

Can I convert complex nested YAML structures?

Yes, the converter can handle deeply nested YAML structures with multiple levels of objects and arrays. The resulting JSON will maintain the same hierarchical structure.

What happens to YAML data types during conversion?

YAML data types are converted to their JSON equivalents: strings remain strings, numbers become JSON numbers, booleans stay as booleans, and null values are preserved. YAML's additional data types are converted to their closest JSON representation.
