Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between JSON and YAML?

JSON uses curly brackets and double-quotes, making it ideal for machine data exchange. YAML relies on indentation and spacing, making it more readable for humans.

How are array lists converted between JSON and YAML?

JSON arrays (defined by square brackets `[]`) are converted into hyphenated lists (`- item`) in YAML, and vice versa.

Is this converter safe for private configuration files?

Yes. The converter runs locally in your browser. Your data is never sent to our servers, keeping API configurations and access tokens secure.
