Frequently Asked Questions
Is ordering preserved?
Yes — JSON key order carries into YAML.
How are dates represented?
JSON has no date type, so date-like strings stay as strings. Use explicit YAML tags post-conversion if needed.
Can output be flow-style?
Yes — set `flow_style=true` for compact `{…}` / `[…]` output.
