}?Frequently Asked Questions
Does it handle YAML comments?
When converting YAML to JSON, comments are discarded as JSON doesn't support them. When converting JSON to YAML, the tool generates clean YAML without comments.
Is YAML a superset of JSON?
Yes, mostly! Valid JSON is often valid YAML. However, YAML offers more human-friendly features like significant indentation instead of braces/brackets, which this tool handles perfectly.
