Conversion runs entirely in this browser.

Safe serialization

JSON values keep their meaning

Nested objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans and null are serialized with the mature YAML library. Ambiguous strings are quoted whenever YAML could otherwise interpret them as another type.

Readable indentation

Choose two, four or eight spaces. Long values remain intact and multiline strings use readable YAML formatting.

Focused conversion

Output ready for configuration files

Inspect formatted YAML beside the source, then copy it or download a .yaml file. Invalid JSON is reported with its source location.

JSON to YAML only

YAML parsing and YAML-to-JSON conversion are intentionally outside this release.

FAQs

JSON-to-YAML questions

Will strings such as “true” or “001” change type?

No. The serializer quotes ambiguous strings so they remain strings when the YAML is parsed.

Does conversion preserve key order?

Yes. Object keys are emitted in the same order provided by the parsed JSON document.
