Frequently asked questions

Does JSON need a top-level object?

Objects, arrays, and scalar JSON values are accepted. The YAML output represents the parsed data.

Are the original indentation and key formatting preserved?

No. The serializer writes a new YAML representation using its own formatting rules.

Will quoted numeric strings stay strings?

The serializer quotes strings when needed to distinguish them from numeric or other scalar types. Review configuration files before use.

Is this an online API conversion?

No. The YAML library is hosted with the site and loaded on demand; conversion happens in the browser.
