Frequently Asked Questions

Can it convert YAML back to JSON?+

Not yet. This tool converts JSON → YAML only.

Why are some strings in quotes?+

Values like "true", "123" or text with colons would change meaning in YAML, so they are quoted to stay strings.

Is my data safe?+

Yes. Everything runs inside your own browser. Your text, files and images are never uploaded to any server.
