Governing formula

YAML ⇄ JSON(value)

YAML is loaded into a JavaScript value with js-yaml, then pretty-printed as JSON—or dumped back to indented YAML with stable formatting.

Use the defaults, then adjust one input at a time to see the result update instantly—no sign up.

Very usable on mobile. Would love a save/export option later, but the math feels solid.
