Frequently Asked Questions
YAML arrays are converted to repeated XML elements with the same tag name. For example, a YAML array of items becomes multiple <item> elements in XML. This follows common XML conventions for representing lists.
XML requires a single root element that wraps all content. If your YAML has multiple top-level keys, the converter wraps them in a root element. You can customize this root element name (default is "root").
Yes, YAML anchors (&) and aliases (*) are supported. The converter resolves these references during parsing, so the resulting XML contains the actual values rather than references.
You can customize the indentation (number of spaces per level) for the output XML. The default is 2 spaces, but you can choose 2, 4, or any number to match your preferred formatting style.
