Frequently Asked Questions

What does the YAML Validator do?

The YAML Validator checks your YAML syntax for correctness and converts valid YAML into formatted JSON output. It helps you identify parsing errors and provides a clear JSON representation of your data.

What is the difference between Validate & Convert and Parse YAML?

Both buttons parse your YAML and produce JSON output. The Validate & Convert button is the primary action, while Parse YAML provides an alternative entry point for the same conversion process.

Does the validator handle complex YAML structures?

Yes, the validator supports nested objects, arrays, and mixed structures. It correctly handles type casting for booleans, numbers, null values, and quoted strings.

Is my YAML data sent to any server?

No. All validation and conversion happens locally in your browser. Your YAML code is never uploaded or transmitted to any server, ensuring your data remains completely private and secure.

What happens if my YAML has errors?

If the YAML cannot be parsed, the tool displays an error message in the status bar with details about the parsing failure. You will need to fix the syntax issues before the conversion can succeed.
