FAQ
Does this support all YAML features?
Our parser supports the most common YAML features needed for configuration files. Advanced features like anchors, aliases, type tags, and multi-document streams are not supported.
How does indentation work?
YAML uses indentation to define structure. Our parser detects indentation levels and converts them to nested JSON objects. Consistent indentation (2 or 4 spaces) produces the best results.
