About the YAML ↔ JSON Converter
Convert between YAML and JSON in both directions. The tool auto-detects which format you pasted and produces the other, so you don’t have to pick a mode. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
Common use cases
- Docker & Kubernetes: switch config between YAML and JSON.
- Readability: turn dense JSON into friendlier YAML.
- CI/CD: adapt pipeline config to the format a tool expects.
How it works
- Paste YAML or JSON, or upload a
.yaml,.yml, or.jsonfile. - The output updates automatically (or click Convert with auto-convert off).
- Copy or download the result, or Swap to convert it back.
Frequently asked questions
How is the format detected?
The tool inspects the syntax — JSON braces versus YAML keys, lists, and comments — then parses to confirm before converting.
Is my data uploaded?
No. Conversion happens locally in your browser — your data never leaves your device.
