What does it do?

Convert YAML into JSON with validation and instant browser-side output for API and config workflows.

How does it work?

A browser-loaded YAML 1.2 parser validates a single mapping or sequence, including nested lists and multiline strings. Comments are omitted from JSON. Duplicate keys, unsupported tags, non-string keys, cyclic aliases, unsafe integers, and non-finite numbers produce explicit errors instead of silent data loss.

When to use it
  • Inspect YAML configuration as JSON without discarding nested sequences.
  • Convert a multiline YAML setting to its exact JSON string value.
Inputs and outputs
Input
Text, files, or values entered in the browser, depending on the tool.
Output
A result shown in the browser that can be reviewed or copied where supported.
Limitations
  • Only data representable in JSON is accepted; comments and YAML formatting are not retained.
  • Input is limited to 500,000 characters, 100 nested data levels, and bounded alias expansion.
Privacy and data handling

Inputs for this browser-side tool are processed locally and are not sent to SiteIndex. Normal page analytics may still be collected as described in the Privacy Policy. Read the Privacy Policy.

How to use it

  1. Paste a single YAML mapping or sequence.
  2. Select Convert YAML to JSON and review any line-specific error.
  3. Copy the JSON after checking arrays, string types, and values.
