FAQ

YAML ↔ JSON Converter questions.

Which YAML version does this tool support?

It uses a YAML 1.2-compatible parser and supports common mappings, arrays, anchors, aliases, block strings, and scalar values.

Will YAML comments appear in the JSON output?

No. JSON has no comment syntax, so comments are not included when YAML data is converted to JSON.
