Frequently Asked Questions

Is the converter lossless?

For simple key-value structures, yes. Complex YAML features like anchors, aliases, and multi-line strings are simplified to their JSON equivalents.

What about YAML comments?

YAML comments (lines starting with #) are preserved in YAML output but are not representable in JSON.
