Frequently asked questions

How is this different from a JSON formatter?

YAML allows comments, has significant whitespace, and uses dashes for arrays. The validator catches errors like inconsistent indentation that JSON parsers miss.

Does it preserve comments?

No — js-yaml strips comments during the load/dump cycle. If you need comment-preserving formatting, use yamllint locally.
