FAQ
What is the difference between YAML and JSON?
YAML is more human-friendly (indentation-based); JSON is more machine-parseable. They are roughly equivalent in expressiveness.
Is any data lost in conversion?
No — conversion between YAML and JSON is lossless.
Is conversion lossless?
Yes. YAML and JSON are equivalent in expressiveness. All data types, structures, and values are preserved.
Does it support YAML anchors and aliases?
No. Anchors (&anchor) and aliases (*alias) are YAML-specific features not representable in JSON. They will be resolved to their values.
What about multi-document YAML?
Only the first document is converted. YAML files with multiple documents (separated by ---) need to be split first.
Are comments preserved?
No. JSON does not support comments. YAML comments (#) are stripped during conversion.
