Does this convert both directions?
Yes — toggle between JSON → YAML and YAML → JSON; both directions run the same real parser/serializer pair, not a simplified one-way script.

FAQ
Why use YAML instead of JSON for config files?
YAML's indentation-based syntax is more readable for humans and supports comments, which JSON doesn't — that's why Kubernetes, Docker Compose, and Ansible favor it for configuration.
How does JSON null convert to YAML?
It becomes YAML's null — a plain, unquoted value.
Will nested objects and arrays convert correctly?
Yes — JSON's braces/brackets map directly to YAML's indentation-based nesting without data loss.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No — conversion runs 100% client-side.
