What is JSON?

        
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format that's easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate. It's widely used in web APIs, configuration files, and data storage.

        
        
JSON vs YAML

        
YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a human-friendly data serialization format. While JSON uses braces and brackets, YAML uses indentation for structure, making it more readable for configuration files. Our converter makes it easy to switch between formats.
