Frequently asked questions

Are YAML anchors and aliases supported?

Yes. The parser resolves YAML anchors (&) and aliases (*) into their expanded form in the JSON output.

Does this handle multi-document YAML?

The API processes the first document in a multi-document YAML stream. Separate documents with --- are not split into multiple JSON objects.

How are YAML tags handled?

Custom YAML tags (e.g., !include) are ignored. The value is parsed as its native type.

What happens with duplicate keys?

Duplicate keys in the same mapping overwrite earlier values, matching the YAML 1.2 specification behavior.
