Frequently Asked Questions

What does sort keys do?

When enabled, object keys are sorted alphabetically at each nesting level for stable diffs in version control.

Can I convert indexed PHP lists?

Yes. Numeric PHP arrays become YAML sequences; associative arrays become mappings.

Are PHP comments supported?

Comments inside the pasted snippet are not preserved in YAML output; only the parsed array values are exported.
