About this tool

Full YAML is a huge specification with anchors, tags and multi-line documents. This converter honestly covers the common subset — indentation-based mappings, dash lists (including lists of mappings), flow lists like [1, 2] and flow mappings like {a: 1}, quoted strings, numbers, booleans and null — which is what the overwhelming majority of config files use. Anything outside that subset is reported as a parse error with the line number, rather than converted wrongly in silence.
