Glosario
- YAML
- YAML (Yet Another Markup Language) — a human-readable data serialization format using indentation. Widely used for config files.
- JSON
- JavaScript Object Notation — a data format using braces and brackets. The standard for web APIs and configs.
- Serialization
- Converting a data structure into a storable/transmittable string format. Deserialization is the reverse.
- YAML Anchor / Alias
- A YAML feature using & to define an anchor and * to reference it, reducing repetition.
- js-yaml
- A reliable JavaScript YAML library supporting YAML 1.2 / RFC compliance.
- Indentation
- In YAML, structure is expressed using consistent spaces (not tabs). Inconsistent indentation causes parse errors.
Preguntas frecuentes
- Q.Is my data sent to a server?
- No. js-yaml runs entirely in the browser; your content is never transmitted.
- Q.Are YAML anchors and aliases supported?
- Yes. js-yaml expands anchors and aliases correctly when converting to JSON.
- Q.Does it support Unicode / non-ASCII characters?
- Yes. UTF-8 content including Japanese, Arabic, and other scripts is fully supported.
- Q.Does it handle Kubernetes multi-document YAML?
- Multi-document YAML separated by --- is handled; the first document is converted.
