## About

## What it does
YAML to JSON Conversion turns YAML into JSON from a raw string, an uploaded file, or a publicly accessible URL. You can get the converted data back inline, as a downloadable JSON file, or as a pre-signed S3 URL depending on the endpoint you call.

Use it when your application accepts YAML configuration files and needs JSON for downstream services, storage, or browser-side processing. Send `content` for raw YAML, `file` for an uploaded YAML document, or `url` for a remote YAML file. The service returns either structured JSON, a binary JSON file, or an object containing a `data` URL to the converted file. For the URL-based outputs, you can also pass an `output` query value to name the generated file.

This is a practical fit for build tools, import pipelines, and internal admin utilities that need to normalize YAML without adding a parser to every client. If you are handling `.yaml` or `.yml` uploads, or converting config files fetched from storage, this service gives you a direct JSON representation with minimal plumbing.
