How to Use

  1. Paste YAML into the input panel, or click "Load Sample" to start with a Kubernetes-style config example.
  2. The tool parses YAML locally and updates formatted JSON in the output panel.
  3. For multi-document YAML, separate documents with ---; the output becomes a JSON array.
  4. If an error appears, check indentation, colons, array nesting, and mixed tabs or spaces.
  5. Copy the JSON or download it as a .json file.

Core Features

  • YAML to JSON conversion: Convert Kubernetes, Docker Compose, CI/CD, and application config YAML into formatted JSON.
  • Client-side processing: YAML parsing and JSON serialization happen on your device, so secrets and config values are not uploaded.
  • Live conversion flow: The JSON output updates as you edit YAML, with a manual "Convert to JSON" action still available.
  • Multi-document YAML support: YAML streams separated with --- are converted into a JSON array, preserving document boundaries.
  • Line-aware validation: Indentation, colon, array nesting, and syntax errors show a clear message with line and column details when available.
  • Copy or download: Copy formatted JSON or save it as a .json file for your next developer workflow.

Calculation Logic

This tool uses the widely used js-yaml parser in the browser. The component reads the text, loads the YAML parser on demand, and uses JSON.stringify to emit formatted JSON.

The workflow does not require a backend request, and EasyTools does not send YAML content to a server. If your input uses custom tags, circular structures, or YAML features the browser parser cannot resolve, the tool reports a parse error instead of guessing.

FAQ

Is it safe to convert YAML with API keys?

Yes. Conversion runs locally in your browser, and YAML text is not uploaded, stored, or sent to EasyTools servers.

Does it support multi-document YAML streams?

Yes. YAML documents separated with --- are parsed as multiple values and returned as a JSON array.

Can I convert YAML to JSON offline?

After the page and required scripts are loaded, conversion does not need a network request. If those assets are already available in the browser, the conversion runs locally.

Why did my YAML fail to convert?

YAML is indentation-sensitive. Common issues include missing spaces after colons, mixed tabs and spaces, inconsistent array nesting, or unquoted strings.

How are YAML arrays mapped to JSON?

YAML lists become JSON arrays, and mappings become JSON objects. Multi-document YAML is returned as an outer JSON array.

Is there a size limit?

EasyTools does not set a text quota. Practical limits depend on browser memory and device performance; very large YAML input may slow the page.
