JSON YAML Converter
Bidirectional conversion between JSON and YAML formats with custom indentation and flow/block styles
About JSON-YAML Converter
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) and YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) are two popular data serialization formats widely used in configuration files, data exchange, and API development.
This converter allows you to easily convert between JSON and YAML formats. YAML uses indentation-based syntax that is more human-readable, while JSON is more compact and widely supported in programming languages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use YAML instead of JSON?
YAML is often more readable and supports comments, making it ideal for configuration files like Docker Compose and Kubernetes manifests. JSON is stricter and better suited for API data exchange.
Is the conversion logic secure?
Yes. This tool processes all data entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your sensitive configuration files are never sent to any server.
What happens to comments when converting YAML to JSON?
Standard JSON does not support comments. Therefore, any comments in YAML input will be lost when converted to JSON.
Does it support complex nested structures?
Yes, both JSON and YAML support deeply nested objects and arrays. This converter can accurately handle complex data structures.
