Basics
What is YAML?
YAML is a human-readable data-serialization format used for configuration files, deployment manifests, and automation workflows. Its indentation is structural, so one misplaced space can change a value’s parent or make the document invalid.

Troubleshooting
Common YAML issues
Empty input
The tool waits for real input instead of inventing a result.
Invalid or unsupported input
Validation checks YAML syntax, not whether the values satisfy an application-specific schema. Formatting can normalize whitespace; comments and anchors should still be reviewed.
Review before reuse
A successful conversion does not prove that the result matches every downstream system or business rule.
