#How to Use This Tool

1Paste your YAML or JSON code into the editor, or drag and drop a .yaml, .yml, or .json file.
2Choose conversion direction (YAML to JSON or JSON to YAML) or use the swap button.
3Adjust indentation (2 spaces or 4 spaces) and toggle multi-document stream parsing.
4Instantly copy the parsed output or download it as a .json or .yaml file.

#Mathematical Formula & Standards

Powered by the industry-standard js-yaml parser executing in a dedicated Web Worker. YAML documents are parsed into native JavaScript object graphs and serialized into compliant JSON. Multi-document YAML streams delimited by --- are aggregated into structured JSON arrays.

#Edge Cases & Technical Considerations

Multi-Document YAML Streams (---)

When enabled, multi-document YAML manifests (such as concatenated Kubernetes Deployment and Service definitions) are cleanly parsed into a top-level JSON array of individual documents.

Accurate Line and Column Syntax Diagnostics

If the YAML syntax contains invalid indentation, tab characters, or unclosed quotes, the parser immediately highlights the exact 1-indexed line and column coordinate of the defect.

Special Types & Quoted Scalars

Preserves boolean flags (true/false), numbers, null values, multiline folded strings (>), and literal block scalars (|) without data distortion.

#Frequently Asked Questions

Q:Are my configuration files or secrets uploaded to a server?

No. Parsing and transformation occur 100% locally in your browser memory using an isolated Web Worker. Your infrastructure configurations and API keys never leave your machine.

Q:Does this tool support Kubernetes and Docker Compose manifests?

Yes. It natively handles standard Kubernetes YAML syntax including apiVersion, kind, metadata, multi-doc streams (---), and complex nested maps.
