YAML Lint / Validate

Use this YAML validator to lint YAML online in real time and format YAML with consistent indentation. It is built for configuration files, CI pipelines, Kubernetes manifests, and app settings.

1. Paste or type YAML into the editor.
2. Review the status banner for the first error and suggestion.
3. Use "Jump to error" to move the cursor to the problem line.

1. Pick an indentation size that matches your project.
2. Click "Format YAML" to run the YAML format tool.
3. Copy the formatted YAML back into your project.

The YAML validator runs in your browser and parses each change as you type. The status banner updates with line and column details, and your input never leaves your device.
