About this tool

Made for the task at hand.

Move configuration between two common serialization formats without pasting it into a remote service. Each conversion parses the source first, then serializes the resulting value with two-space indentation.

How to use

  1. Paste either JSON or a single YAML document.
  2. Choose JSON to YAML or YAML to JSON.
  3. Fix any source-format error and copy the converted configuration.

Common questions
Are YAML comments carried into JSON?

No. JSON has no comment syntax, and conversion serializes data values rather than preserving YAML presentation details.

Can YAML values exceed what JSON can represent?

Some YAML tags and scalar types may have no exact JSON equivalent. Review converted values, especially dates and custom tags, before using them.
