Frequently Asked Questions

Will the YAML work with Kubernetes or Docker Compose?

Yes. The output follows standard YAML 1.2 block style with 2-space indentation, which Kubernetes manifests, docker-compose files and most CI configs expect.

How are special strings handled?

Strings that could be misread - like "yes", "123", or "key: value" - are automatically wrapped in single quotes so parsers read them as plain strings.
