What's the difference between JSON and YAML?

YAML is more human-readable with less syntax overhead (no brackets, quotes often optional). JSON is more strict and widely supported in programming. Both represent the same data structures.

Will special characters be escaped properly?

Yes, the tool automatically escapes special characters and adds quotes around strings when necessary to ensure valid YAML output.
