What's the difference between JSON and YAML?

JSON uses braces and brackets with strict syntax. YAML uses indentation and is more human-readable. Both represent the same data structures.

Is the conversion accurate?

Yes. The tool handles objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, and null values. For basic to moderately complex structures, the conversion is accurate.
