YAML to JSON

Paste YAML and get clean, formatted JSON back — instantly, with a clear error if the YAML is malformed. It runs entirely in your browser.

From config to data

YAML is easy to write and read, but most code and APIs want JSON. Paste a Kubernetes manifest, a CI config, or a settings file and get the equivalent JSON, formatted and ready to use. Anchors, aliases, and multi-line strings are all handled, and a syntax error points you at the line to fix.

Local and round-trippable

Nothing leaves your browser. Going the other way? JSON to YAML closes the loop.

FAQ

Is my YAML uploaded?
No. Parsing happens in your browser with the js-yaml library. Whatever you paste — config, secrets, manifests — stays on your device.
What YAML does it support?
Standard YAML 1.2: mappings, sequences, scalars, multi-line strings, anchors and aliases. Invalid YAML shows a clear error with the line where parsing failed.
Need the other direction?
Use JSON to YAML to go from JSON back to YAML — the two pair up for round-tripping config between formats.
