Frequently Asked Questions

What is YAML?

YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a human-readable data serialization format commonly used for configuration files.

When should I use YAML vs JSON?

YAML is often preferred for config files (Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD) due to readability. JSON is better for APIs and data exchange.

Does it handle nested structures?

Yes — nested objects and arrays are fully supported with proper indentation in YAML output.

Are comments preserved?

YAML comments are stripped when converting to JSON, as JSON does not support comments.
