YAML to JSON Converter

Transform YAML configuration to JSON format and vice versa.

Why Convert YAML to JSON?

YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is popular for configuration files because of its human readability. However, many APIs and tools require JSON. This converter bridges the gap.

Common Use Cases

  • Kubernetes: Convert k8s YAML manifests for API consumption.
  • Docker Compose: Transform docker-compose.yml for scripting.
  • CI/CD: Parse GitHub Actions or GitLab CI configs programmatically.
  • Ansible: Convert playbooks to JSON for tooling integration.

YAML vs JSON

YAML supports comments, multi-line strings, and is more readable. JSON is stricter, widely supported, and better for data interchange. Use this tool to switch between formats as needed.

Bidirectional Conversion

This tool works both ways! Paste JSON on the right and click "← YAML" to convert back. Great for debugging or reformatting configuration files.
