Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between YAML and .properties in MuleSoft?
MuleSoft supports both YAML and flat properties files. YAML is hierarchical and easier to read, while Properties files are flat key=value pairs often used for environment-specific overrides in CloudHub.
What does the "Keys Only" option do?
It extracts just the dotted property keys (e.g., database.host) without the values. This is perfect for creating property placeholder templates or list of keys for DataWeave.
What is the Mule::p("key") format?
Mule::p("key") is the DataWeave function to read a Mule property. This tool can auto-wrap all your keys in this format for quick use in transformations.
How does the tool handle secure properties?
If your YAML config contains encrypted values wrapped in ![val], selecting "Keys Only" mode will automatically prepend the secure:: prefix to those property keys, keeping them aligned with MuleSoft's Secure Properties standards.
Is my configuration file sent to any server?
No, all operations run entirely in local browser memory. None of your database credentials, system configs, or passwords ever leave your machine.
