Common questions

JSON to YAML,
explained.

Is every JSON file valid YAML?+

JSON is a subset of YAML, but this tool rewrites it into the more readable block-style YAML commonly used in configuration files.

Will key order stay the same?+

Yes. Object keys are emitted in the order supplied by the JSON parser.

Are my files uploaded?+

No. TidyFormat processes the conversion locally in your browser. Your input and output files are not sent to our servers.
