FAQ
Does this handle commas inside quoted CSV fields?
Yes. It uses a proper CSV parser that understands double-quoted fields, including commas and newlines inside quotes and escaped "" quote characters, rather than naively splitting on commas.
Why are some values wrapped in quotes in the YAML output?
Values that could otherwise be misread, such as text that looks like a number, a boolean (true/false/yes/no), or contains a colon or leading/trailing whitespace, are quoted so they stay as plain strings when the YAML is parsed.
What if my CSV has no data rows?
If only a header row is found, or the input is empty or malformed, the tool shows a clear message instead of producing incorrect YAML.
