What does the YAML to JSON do?

YAML supports indentation-based maps, sequences, scalars, and features that do not have identical JSON syntax. The converter resolves the YAML document and serializes the resulting data model as JSON.

Common uses

• Convert deployment configuration for an API
• Inspect YAML as explicit JSON structures
• Move data between configuration formats
