Data Format Conversion Guide

Understanding different data formats and when to use them.

What's the difference between JSON, XML, and YAML?

  • JSON:
    • Lightweight and easy to read
    • Native support in JavaScript
    • Popular for web APIs and configurations
  • XML:
    • Supports complex document structures
    • Extensive use in enterprise systems
    • Better for document markup
  • YAML:
    • Human-friendly syntax
    • Supports comments and complex data types
    • Popular for configuration files

When should I convert between formats?

  • JSON to XML: When integrating with legacy systems or SOAP APIs
  • XML to JSON: When modernizing APIs or working with JavaScript
  • YAML to JSON: When deploying configurations to systems that require JSON
  • JSON to YAML: When creating human-readable configuration files

Best Practices

  • Validation: Always validate data structure after conversion
  • Encoding: Pay attention to special characters and encoding
  • Compatibility: Check for format-specific features before converting
  • Documentation: Keep track of which format is the source of truth
