Frequently asked

Which YAML spec?

YAML 1.2, via the mature `yaml` npm package running entirely in your browser.

Are comments preserved?

No. Formatting round-trips through JavaScript objects, which strip comments. If you need comment preservation, edit YAML directly rather than round-tripping.

Multi-document files?

Yes — YAML lets you separate documents with `---`. The formatter parses each and re-emits them separated the same way.
