Converted output will appear here...Transform between formats in seconds with our intuitive converter
Paste JSON or YAML content into the input editor
Smart detection automatically identifies the format
Get converted output in real-time with syntax highlighting
Seamlessly convert from JSON to YAML or YAML to JSON with a single click on the swap button.
Automatically detects whether your pasted content is JSON or YAML and adjusts the conversion mode accordingly.
Real-time conversion as you type with optimized 300ms debouncing for smooth performance.
Choose between 2 or 4 spaces for YAML output to match your project's coding standards.
Clear error messages with line numbers help you quickly identify and fix syntax issues.
Color-coded output makes it easy to read and understand the converted data structure.
Convert JSON configs to YAML for Docker Compose, Kubernetes manifests, and Helm charts.
Transform JSON data to YAML for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, and Jenkins pipelines.
Convert API JSON responses to YAML for better readability in documentation and logs.
Switch between JSON and YAML formats for application configs, environment variables, and settings files.
Experience the most reliable and feature-rich JSON-YAML conversion tool, designed for developers who value speed, privacy, and accuracy.
All conversions happen locally in your browser. Your data never leaves your device or gets sent to any server.
Instant conversion with no server round-trips. Process large files in milliseconds.
Works offline once loaded. No internet connection required for conversions.
No registration, no limits, no hidden costs. Convert unlimited files anytime.
YAML is the standard for Docker Compose files and Kubernetes manifests, offering cleaner syntax for complex configurations.
GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and CircleCI all use YAML for pipeline definitions due to its readability and structure.
YAML's human-friendly format makes it ideal for app configs, environment variables, and settings that humans need to edit.
Unlike JSON, YAML supports comments, making it easier to document configurations directly in the file.
Use Ctrl+A (Cmd+A) to select all, Ctrl+C (Cmd+C) to copy the converted output instantly.
For best results, ensure your JSON is valid. Use our Code Formatter tool first if needed.
Note: JSON doesn't support comments. Any comments in YAML will be lost when converting to JSON.
YAML is indentation-sensitive. Always verify the converted output maintains the correct structure.
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data format primarily used for data exchange. YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is more human-readable and commonly used for configuration files. YAML supports comments and has a cleaner syntax, while JSON is more widely supported across programming languages.
Yes! All conversions happen entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your data never leaves your device and is never sent to any server. You can even use this tool offline once the page is loaded.
Yes, the converter can handle large files efficiently. However, extremely large files (>10MB) may cause performance issues in your browser. For best results, consider splitting very large files into smaller chunks.
Common causes include: invalid JSON input, special characters that need escaping, or complex nested structures. Check the error message for the specific line number and ensure your input is valid. Use a JSON validator first if needed.
Unfortunately, no. JSON format doesn't support comments. Any comments in your YAML file will be stripped during conversion to JSON. This is a limitation of the JSON format itself, not the converter.
This depends on your project's coding standards. 2 spaces is the most common choice for YAML files and is the default for many tools. 4 spaces offers better readability for deeply nested structures. Choose based on your team's preferences.
