Frequently Asked Questions
Is my data uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser.
Does it support multi - document YAML?

Why do I get a parsing error?
The source may contain invalid JSON or YAML. Common issues include trailing commas in JSON or indentation mistakes in YAML.
Will the converter preserve comments?
No. Comments are not preserved when converting because JSON does not support comments directly.
