Parsing and serialization utils for [YAML](https://yaml.org/) ([js-yaml](https://github.com/nodeca/js-yaml)), [TOML](https://toml.io/) ([smol-toml](https://github.com/squirrelchat/smol-toml)), [JSONC](https://github.com/microsoft/node-jsonc-parser) ([jsonc-parser](https://github.com/microsoft/node-jsonc-parser)), [JSON5](https://json5.org/) ([json5](https://github.com/json5/json5)), and [JSON](https://www.json.org/json-en.html).

✨ Zero dependency and tree-shakable

✨ Types exported out of the box

✨ Presrves code style (indentation and whitespace)

> [!TIP]
> Use [unjs/c12](https://github.com/unjs/c12) for a full featured configuration loader!
