FAQ

JSON to YAML Converter FAQs

Common questions about how JSON to YAML Converter works and what to expect from the current AiFolder implementation.

?Does JSON to YAML preserve comments?

JSON input has no standard comment syntax, so there are no JSON comments for the converter to preserve into YAML.

?Can invalid JSON become valid YAML automatically?

The source JSON must parse first; the tool should not guess how malformed JSON was intended to be structured.

?Why convert JSON to YAML?

YAML is common in configuration and infrastructure files and can be easier to edit by hand when the data structure is not too complex.
