What YAML structure is supported?

The tool expects a top-level YAML sequence (array) of mappings (objects). Each item should be a flat key-value map. Deeply nested objects are flattened to their string representation.

Are missing keys handled correctly?

Yes. If some records are missing certain keys, those cells are left empty in the CSV. The header row always includes every key found across all records.

Is my data sent to a server?

No. All parsing and conversion happens locally in your browser using js-yaml. Nothing is uploaded or stored.

Can I choose the CSV delimiter?

Yes. Use the delimiter selector to output comma-separated (default), semicolon-separated, or tab-separated values.

What happens with nested objects or arrays?

Nested values are serialized to a JSON string so no data is lost. If you need a flat representation, simplify your YAML structure before converting.

Is there a size limit?

There is no hard limit — the browser handles the conversion in memory. Very large files (tens of thousands of rows) may cause a brief delay.
