    Good to know

    • YAML is a superset of JSON, so any valid JSON converts to equivalent YAML without data loss.
    • YAML uses indentation instead of braces and quotes, which makes config files shorter and easier to read.
    • Conversion runs entirely in your browser — your config data is never sent to a server.
