Frequently asked questions

Which YAML version does it support?
YAML 1.2 via js-yaml, the same library used by many editors and CI tools.
Will comments in YAML be preserved?
No — YAML → JSON → YAML round-trips drop comments because JSON has no comment syntax.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Files are processed directly in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Nothing is uploaded to our servers, so your documents never leave your device.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The tools run in any modern browser on desktop, tablet, or mobile (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox). Very large files may be slower on low-end phones.
