Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert large YAML files using this tool?

Yes, the tool can handle large YAML files. However, the performance may vary depending on the complexity and size of the input file. We recommend testing with smaller chunks if you encounter performance issues.

What should I do if the conversion fails?

If the conversion fails, ensure that your YAML input is correctly formatted. YAML is sensitive to indentation and structure, so a small mistake can result in an invalid input. Review the YAML syntax or try using a YAML validator before converting.

Is my data secure when using this tool?

Yes, your data is processed locally in your browser, meaning that it does not leave your device. The tool does not store or transmit your input or output data to any external servers.
