Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs about YAML Formatter / Beautifier
Does this validate YAML?
The formatter normalizes indentation and structure but does not perform strict YAML validation. Use a dedicated YAML validator for that.
What indentation does this use?
The formatter uses 2-space indentation for each nesting level, which is the most common convention for YAML files.
Does it handle anchors and aliases?
Basic YAML anchors (&) and aliases (*) are preserved as text. Complex anchors may need manual review after formatting.
Will it remove comments?
YAML comments (lines starting with #) are preserved in the output.
Is my data safe?
All formatting runs in your browser. No data is ever sent to a server.
