Tool overview
How JSON values map to YAML
The converter parses valid JSON, writes mappings and sequences as YAML, and documents that YAML has features beyond JSON that are not produced here.
Move JSON configuration to YAML
- Clean pasted work data before another tool uses it
- Inspect a browser-local conversion before copying it
- Prepare examples for documentation or support notes
Parse JSON and choose YAML output rules
- Paste or type the input.
- Choose the processing options that match the source.
- Run the tool and review the result.
- Copy or download the output.
Indentation, quoting, sorting, and markers
- Options are explicit so destructive behavior is visible before processing.
- Input and output stay in separate editors.
- Examples load realistic settings for the tool.

YAML has features JSON lacks
- Ambiguous input may need an explicit mode.
