TSV to YAML
Transforms TSV files into YAML format.

What TSV to YAML does
TSV to YAML converts Tab Separated Values files into YAML format, allowing users to transform structured tabular data into a hierarchical, human-readable structure. The tool processes input TSV data, mapping rows and columns into key-value pairs that maintain the original dataset's entries and relationships within a standardized configuration format. This conversion is useful for developers, data analysts, and researchers who need to switch from tabular to YAML format for configuration files, data migration, or integration with other systems that prefer YAML's syntax.
