Common Mistakes to Avoid

⚠️

Not validating JSON first

Solution: Invalid JSON won't convert. Use a JSON validator to check syntax before conversion.

⚠️

Expecting YAML comments

Solution: JSON has no comments, so converted YAML won't either. Add comments manually after conversion.

⚠️

Indentation preferences

Solution: Different tools use different indent sizes (2 or 4 spaces). Check output matches your project style.
