Frequently Asked Questions
Which array style should I use?
Modern PHP projects typically use short arrays. Long array() syntax helps when pasting into codebases that still avoid short tags.
Are keys quoted?
Associative keys are emitted as single-quoted PHP strings. Numeric list indices are unquoted integers.
Can I upload a YAML file?
Yes. Use the file control to load .yaml or .yml files; conversion updates as you edit.
