FAQ
Common questions and answers about this topic.
What is the difference between YAML and a JS object?
YAML uses indentation-based structure and supports comments, multi-line strings, and anchors/aliases. A JavaScript object literal uses curly braces with unquoted or quoted keys and supports JS-specific values like undefined, functions, and trailing commas.
Can I sort the keys alphabetically?
Yes, the sort keys dropdown allows you to arrange all JavaScript object properties in alphabetical order (A to Z) or preserve the original key sequence from your YAML input. This sorting is applied recursively to every nesting level.
Can I customize the JS object indentation?
Yes, the JS object output can be indented with 2 spaces, 4 spaces, or tabs via the formatting options. Most JavaScript codebases use 2-space indentation to keep object literals concise.
Is my data sent to any server?
No, the YAML to JS object conversion takes place entirely within your browser. Your YAML data is parsed and transformed locally with JavaScript and never leaves your device.
