Turn common YAML into JSON while surfacing YAML features that cannot map exactly.
Processed locally. Your input and output are never uploaded.
Tool overview
How YAML types become JSON values
The parser supports a conservative YAML subset suitable for common configuration snippets and rejects custom executable tags.
Inspect YAML as JSON records
- 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 common YAML into JSON
- 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.
Documents, indentation, tags, and aliases
- Options are explicit so destructive behavior is visible before processing.
- Input and output stay in separate editors.
- Examples load realistic settings for the tool.
Convert a mapping with a sequence
Before
name: PasteTidy tags: - text - data
After
{
"name": "PasteTidy",
"tags": [
"text",
"data"
]
}Some YAML cannot map exactly
- Ambiguous input may need an explicit mode.
- Large input may move to the local worker.
- Browser standards can differ slightly for edge-case syntax.
