About ENV / .env to YAML Converter
The ENV to YAML converter parses dotenv `KEY=VALUE` files — ignoring blank lines and `#` comments — and writes each variable as a flat YAML mapping entry using js-yaml. Both editors are live — swap to YAML→ENV with one click. The YAML output has an interactive tree view.

Frequently Asked Questions
QAre all values treated as strings?
Yes — dotenv values are strings. The output YAML mapping preserves them as quoted strings to avoid unintended type interpretation.
QIs my data sent to a server?
No. All conversion runs in a Web Worker inside your browser.
