Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why is YAML sensitive to indentation?
YAML relies on whitespace indentation to structure blocks and parent-child relationships instead of brackets or braces.
Is my configuration data stored anywhere?
No. All validation runs client-side inside your browser environment.
