How do you convert ansible ini inventory into json or yaml

Question

Ansible AWX requires inventories to be entered in yaml or json format.

When you start learning ansible, you may take the choice to start off with your inventory in ini format.

Is it possible to convert between formats?

Example given here

ansible-inventory -i inventory.ini -y --list > inventory.yaml

The -y flag gives yaml output. Omitting the flag gives json.
