Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between JSON and YAML?

JSON uses braces and brackets with strict syntax, while YAML uses indentation and is designed to be more human-readable. Both represent the same data structures: objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, and null values.

When should I use YAML instead of JSON?

YAML is commonly used for configuration files (Docker Compose, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines) because it is easier to read and write. JSON is preferred for APIs and data exchange because it is simpler to parse programmatically.

Is my data secure?

Yes. All conversion happens entirely in your browser. No data is sent to any server.
