Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between JSON and YAML?
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format that's easy for humans to read and write. YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a human-readable data serialization standard that's often used for configuration files. YAML is more readable but JSON is more widely supported and faster to parse.
Can I convert YAML back to JSON?
Yes! This tool supports bidirectional conversion. You can paste YAML content into either input field and convert it to JSON. Use the swap button (⇄) to easily switch between conversion directions.
What file formats are supported?
The tool supports .json files for upload. You can also paste JSON or YAML content directly into the text areas. The output can be downloaded as .yaml, .yml, or .json files depending on your conversion direction.
How do I handle large JSON files?
The tool can handle reasonably large JSON files (up to several MB) since all processing happens in your browser. For very large files, consider breaking them into smaller chunks or using command-line tools for better performance.
What are the different array formats?
YAML supports two array formats: Block style (each item on a new line with dashes) and Flow style (items in square brackets, similar to JSON). Block style is more readable for complex data, while flow style is more compact.
Are there any limitations?
The tool handles standard JSON and YAML features. Some advanced YAML features like anchors, aliases, and custom tags are not supported in the JSON-to-YAML conversion since JSON doesn't have equivalent concepts. Comments can be optionally added during conversion.
