What is JSON to YAML Conversion? 🔄

JSON to YAML conversion transforms JSON data structures into YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) format, which is more human-readable and commonly used for configuration files. YAML uses indentation and simple syntax without brackets, making it easier to read and edit than JSON.

The conversion maintains all data relationships and types while creating clean, indented YAML that's perfect for DevOps tools, configuration management, and infrastructure as code.
