Conversion Manual & Best Practices

Navigate structural discrepancies between two primary data languages

Hot-Swap Data Relay

Clicking the center arrow button swaps the active mode and automatically pipes the valid output result back into the input buffer. This allows you to rapidly strip JSON down to YAML, tweak a string, and inject it straight back into JSON format instantly.

Strictness & Typings

YAML is notoriously flexible: words like 'true', 'yes', or 'on' convert to boolean true. JSON expects strict types. Moving from YAML to JSON exposes these implicit casts. Watch out for stringified numbers transforming into actual numeric types!

Dual Buffer Controls

Both the Source and Output panes possess dedicated clipboard handlers. If you simply need to format and copy the raw input you pasted without looking at the conversion, just use the 'Copy Input' action. Built for maximum speed.
