FAQ
Common questions and answers about this topic.
What is the difference between a JS object and YAML?
A JavaScript object literal uses curly braces with unquoted or quoted keys and supports JS-specific values like undefined, functions, and trailing commas. YAML uses indentation-based structure with a human-readable syntax and supports comments, multi-line strings, and anchors/aliases.
Can I sort the keys alphabetically?
Yes, you can sort all YAML mapping keys alphabetically (A to Z) using the sort keys dropdown, or retain the original property order from your JS object. The sorting recurses through all nested mappings in the YAML output.
Can I customize the YAML indentation?
Yes, the YAML output indentation supports 2 to 8 spaces via the formatting options. When converting JS objects to YAML for configuration files, 2 spaces is the widely adopted standard.
Is my data sent to any server?
No, the JS object to YAML conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your JavaScript source code is parsed and converted locally and never uploaded to any server.
