YAML to JSON Converter

YAML and JSON describe the same underlying data model — maps, lists, scalars — but plenty of tooling only speaks one of the two: JavaScript's JSON.parse doesn't understand YAML, while Kubernetes and most CI systems are YAML-first. Converting between them by hand means manually mapping indentation to braces, which is tedious and error-prone once anchors, multi-line strings, or nested lists are involved.

A common case is pulling a Kubernetes manifest or docker-compose.yml into a Node.js script or a JSON-based config loader that has no native YAML support — this tool parses the YAML (including multi-document files) and emits equivalent JSON directly, preserving key order and nested structure so nothing gets silently reshaped in the conversion.
