Convert JSON to YAML for Readable Configuration
Input + output
Convert JSON to YAML
Convert JSON objects or arrays into YAML for configuration files, manifests, or documentation. YAML is often easier to read and edit by hand than raw JSON.
JSON Input Requirements
The input must be valid JSON. If conversion fails, confirm that:
- Make sure all JSON keys are surrounded with double quotes.
- Make sure all opening brackets have matching closing brackets.
- Make sure there are no trailing commas at the end of arrays.
JSON Object Example
JSON objects convert to YAML mappings. Example input:
{
"name": "John Doe",
"pets": [
"fish",
"cat"
]
}JSON Array Example
JSON arrays convert to YAML lists. Example input:
[
{
"name": "John Doe",
"pets": [
"fish",
"cat"
]
},
{
"name": "Jane Doe",
"pets": [
"dog"
]
}
]After Conversion
Use the YAML output in configuration files or documentation. If the file must be verified, run the YAML Lint / Validate tool to confirm structure and indentation.
- YAML to JSON tool to convert back.
- Text Compare Tool to review changes.
- Base64 Encode Tool for transport and storage.
