YAML to JSON Converter

Parse YAML locally and produce formatted JSON.

// Your converted JSON will appear here.

Runs in your browser

The conversion UI uses browser APIs and does not require a developer account or server-side API.

Readable JSON

Output is formatted with two-space indentation so it is easier to inspect and edit.

No fake promises

Supported syntax and edge cases depend on the parser used by each conversion tool.

What is YAML to JSON converter?

YAML to JSON parses YAML — Kubernetes manifests, Docker Compose files, OpenAPI specs, CI configs — and outputs formatted JSON that APIs and JavaScript code can consume directly. Because YAML is indentation-sensitive, the converter doubles as a validator: a misplaced space or tab produces a clear error with the problem location instead of wrong data.

Frequently asked questions

Can this validate my YAML?

Yes. If the YAML has indentation or syntax errors, the parser reports them instead of producing JSON.

Does it support multiple YAML documents separated by ---?

Convert one document at a time; split multi-document files at the --- separators first.

Are YAML comments kept?

No. JSON has no comment syntax, so comments are dropped during conversion.
