YAML to JSON is not included because full YAML parsing is complex. If you need it, paste your YAML into any trusted YAML parser. This tool focuses on doing one direction reliably.
YAML basics: indentation defines structure (use spaces, never tabs). Dashes start list items. Colons separate keys from values. Strings with special characters are quoted automatically.
Example:
name: example ports: - 80 - 443 enabled: true
Frequently asked questions
Why convert JSON to YAML?
Many developer tools (Docker Compose, Kubernetes, CI pipelines) read YAML config files. YAML is easier for humans to read and edit than JSON, so converting saves manual rewriting.
Why is there no YAML to JSON direction?
Full YAML parsing is complex and risky to do partially. This tool focuses on doing JSON to YAML conversion reliably. For the reverse direction, use a dedicated YAML parser.
Does the converter handle nested objects and arrays?
Yes. Nested objects become indented YAML mappings, arrays become dash lists, empty objects and arrays stay inline, and strings with special characters are quoted automatically.
