Why Convert?

Here are some common reasons:

• Use existing YAML data with systems only supporting JSON
• Output JSON for web services and APIs instead of YAML
• Leverage JSON's portability across programming languages
• Work with YAML configuration data in JSON format
• Take advantage of broader JSON tooling and support
• Provide a widely accessible data format vs YAML

Overall, conversion enables compatibility with JSON-based systems and services.

Example YAML to JSON Conversion

Given this sample data:

name: John
age: 30
skills:
  - Coding
  - Math
    

The converted output would be:

{
  "name": "John",
  "age": 30,
  "skills": [
    "Coding",
    "Math"
  ]
}
    

The data is transformed into portable, widely supported JSON format.

Uses for Converted JSON

The JSON converted can be used:

• To work with existing YAML in JSON-based systems
• For web services that require JSON payloads
• Storing document data in JSON-oriented NoSQL databases
• Interchange between programs leveraging JSON libraries
• Transmitting structured data in web apps and sites
• Any application requiring portable JSON output

JSON unlocks broad capabilities from YAML data.
