.properties to .yaml conversion while preserving comment?

Question

Here is an earlier discussion, which asks about - How to convert from application.properties to application.yml in Spring Boot?

The solutions discussed above work but there is a limitation with #comments.
Comments (#comments) in .properties file are not carried forward in to .yaml file after conversion.

So want to check if there is any tool (online/ide based/offline) that supports conversion with comments carried forward into .yaml file.

@rioV8 - could you expand your comment in to a answer with more details. — , Jan 10 '22 at 05:03

-1

read each line of the properties file
- keep track of the comments
- put the grouped property in a data structure together with the comment
write the data structure to the YAML file
