Convert YAML configuration to JSON.
About YAML to JSON
YAML to JSON is a free online tool. Convert YAML configuration into JSON for tools and APIs that only accept JSON. It runs entirely in your browser, so there is nothing to install, no account to create and no watermark added to your result.
How to use YAML to JSON
- Paste your code or data into the input box.
- Choose an option or press the action button.
- Read the result, fix any reported error and copy the output.
Worked example
Enter a short sample first to see how YAML to JSON behaves, check the result, then run your real content.
Tips for best results
- YAML is sensitive to indentation; use spaces, not tabs, in the input.
- Everything runs in your browser, so you can use YAML to JSON even on a slow connection once the page has loaded.
Limits to keep in mind
- The tool works on the text you paste and does not check it against a schema. Always test the output in your own project.
