Frequently Asked Questions
What is YAML? expand_more
YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a human-readable data format commonly used for configuration files in DevOps tools.
Why convert YAML to JSON? expand_more
Some APIs and tools only accept JSON. Converting YAML to JSON ensures compatibility across different systems.
Can I convert JSON to YAML? expand_more
Yes! This tool supports bidirectional conversion between YAML and JSON formats.
Does it support nested structures? expand_more
Yes! The [YAML to JSON](/tools/yaml-to-json/) tool handles deeply nested objects, arrays, and complex configuration structures while preserving data integrity.
What about comments in YAML? expand_more
YAML supports comments (#) for documentation. When converting to JSON (which doesn't support comments), comments are removed but data remains intact.
Can I convert Kubernetes config? expand_more
Absolutely! Kubernetes uses YAML extensively. Convert to JSON for API compatibility or to JSON-based configuration tools. The [YAML to JSON](/tools/yaml-to-json/) tool handles complex K8s specs.
Does it handle anchors and aliases? expand_more
YAML anchors (&) and aliases (*) are resolved during conversion to JSON. Complex YAML references are expanded to actual values in the output.
What indentation does it use? expand_more
YAML uses indentation (2 spaces standard) for structure. The [YAML to JSON](/tools/yaml-to-json/) tool preserves this, converting indentation to proper JSON braces and brackets.
