Is my data uploaded to a server when using the YAML to Bash Converter?

No. All processing happens 100% in your browser. Your data never leaves your computer.

How are YAML values quoted in the output?

Values are wrapped in single quotes to prevent all shell expansion. Single quotes inside values are properly escaped with the Bash-safe ending quote pattern.
