Frequently asked questions

Does this support YAML anchors and multi-document files?
Standard YAML 1.2 features including anchors, aliases, and common tags are supported. Multiple documents separated by `---` are parsed as the first document.
Can I convert YAML to JSON here?
Yes — use the dedicated YAML to JSON converter for a side-by-side conversion; this formatter re-outputs as YAML.
