Frequently asked questions

How do YAML dates map to JSON?

Date-looking scalars can become strings or other values depending on the parser and schema. Review the converted value.

Are YAML aliases and deep nesting unlimited?

No. Input size and nesting are bounded to limit excessive computation and memory use.

Can YAML execute code here?

No. The tool parses and serializes data only; it does not use eval or execute user code.
