YAML to JSON Converter
Convert YAML Documents to JSON Objects
Input + output
Convert YAML to JSON
Convert YAML documents into JSON for APIs, configuration pipelines, and data processing. The converter accepts YAML strings, files, and multi-document YAML.
YAML Input Requirements
If conversion fails, check that the YAML follows the YAML specification. Common issues include:
- Make sure you do not have duplicate keys in your YAML.
- Make sure all keys and values are seperated by a colon (`:`).
- Make sure all array values have the appropriate minus sign and space (`- `) starting character.
For a deeper check, run the YAML Lint / Validate tool after conversion.
YAML Document Example
YAML documents convert to JSON objects. Example input:
name: "John Doe"
pets:
- "fish"
- "cat"YAML Multi-Document Example
Multi-document YAML converts to a JSON array. Example input:
document: "this is document 1"
name: "John Doe"
---
document: "this is document 2"
name: "John Doe"After Conversion
Use the JSON output in your application or API. For further processing, these tools can help:
- JSON to YAML Tool to convert back.
- JSON Formatter to clean and review output.
- JSON Lint to validate the JSON.
- JSON to CSV Converter for spreadsheets.
- JSON to CSV Flatten for nested JSON exports.
- Text Compare Tool to review changes.
