Frequently asked questions
What indentation style is used?
The output uses 2-space indentation, which is the most common convention for YAML files.
Are strings quoted in the output?
Strings that could be misinterpreted as numbers, booleans, or null (e.g., "true", "3.14", "null") are quoted. Plain strings are unquoted.
Does this handle deeply nested JSON?
Yes. The converter supports arbitrary nesting depth. Each level adds 2 spaces of indentation.
Can I convert YAML back to JSON?
Yes. Use the /v1/yaml/to-json endpoint for the reverse conversion.
