How it works

Your JSON is parsed and re-emitted as YAML: objects become indented key/value blocks, arrays become dash lists, and strings are quoted only when YAML would otherwise misread them as numbers, booleans, or dates.

Frequently asked questions

Is YAML just JSON with less punctuation?

Effectively, yes — YAML is a superset of JSON, so every valid JSON document has a YAML equivalent.

Why are some strings quoted?

Values like yes, no, on, off, 1.0, and null mean something specific in YAML, so they are quoted to keep them as plain strings.
