How do I convert an RB file to YAML using this tool?

Upload your RB file (e.g., a Ruby script containing hashes or arrays) on the converter page, choose YAML as the target format, and click 'Convert'. The tool parses the Ruby data structures and outputs a YAML file, preserving key-value pairs and nested types. After conversion, download the YAML file for immediate use.

Why convert RB (Ruby) to YAML instead of keeping it in Ruby?

YAML is a language-agnostic data format used extensively for configuration files, data exchange, and API payloads. Converting Ruby hashes or arrays to YAML allows the same data to be read by other programming languages, tools, and frameworks like Rails (which uses YAML for database config). It also makes data human-readable, easier to edit, and eliminates the need to run Ruby code to access the data.

How does the RB to YAML converter handle Ruby-specific data types like symbols, hashes, and arrays?

The converter maps Ruby hashes to YAML maps, arrays to YAML sequences, and symbols to YAML string keys (e.g., :name becomes 'name'). Nested structures are preserved with proper indentation. However, executable code, methods, and classes are not converted because YAML only represents data. The result is a clean, lossless data representation of the original Ruby structures.
