Frequently Asked Questions
How are XML attributes represented in YAML?
Readable mode groups them under an attributes object, while roundtrip mode emits metadata keys such as "@id". You can switch between both in Advanced options.
What happens to mixed XML content like text plus child nodes?
The converter keeps mixed text under explicit metadata keys and warns in the audit so the YAML stays honest about structure.
Are XML comments and CDATA preserved exactly?
Not lexically in this first version. The audit warns when comments, DOCTYPE declarations, or CDATA boundaries cannot be preserved exactly.
Is my XML uploaded anywhere?
No. Validation, mapping, YAML serialization, and preview all run locally in your browser.
