Frequently Asked Questions

YAML is more human-readable, less verbose, and preferred by modern DevOps tools like Kubernetes, Docker Compose, Ansible, and CI/CD pipelines. Migration reduces file size by 30-50% and improves maintainability.

Attributes are converted to properties with '@' prefix following BadgerFish convention. For example,becomes '@category: fiction'. This preserves all metadata while maintaining YAML simplicity.

Namespaces are preserved as @xmlns properties in the YAML output. This maintains namespace declarations for validation tools while converting to YAML's cleaner syntax.

No. XML comments are stripped during conversion as they cannot be reliably mapped to YAML comments. Document important information in the actual data structure instead.

Nested XML elements become indented YAML structures. Parent-child relationships are preserved using YAML's whitespace-based hierarchy, making the structure more readable than XML tags.

Multiple XML elements with the same name are automatically converted to YAML arrays. Single elements remain as objects. Enable 'Always use arrays' for consistent structure across varying data.

Yes, but processing happens entirely in your browser. Files up to several MB work fine. For extremely large files (50MB+), performance depends on your device's RAM and CPU.

UTF-8 encoding is used for both input and output. Special characters, unicode, and international text are preserved correctly in the YAML output.

Absolutely. Convert XML-based configs to Kubernetes-compatible YAML manifests. Perfect for migrating from legacy systems to cloud-native infrastructure with Kubernetes, Helm, or Kustomize.

The tool generates syntactically correct YAML. For schema validation (like Kubernetes specs), use a YAML validator tool after conversion to verify against specific schemas.
