YAML to JSON Converter

About YAML to JSON Converter

This tool converts YAML (YAML Aint Markup Language) into JSON (JavaScript Object Notation). This is useful when you need to use YAML data in JSON-only environments.

Why Convert YAML to JSON?

• API Requests: Most APIs expect JSON, not YAML
• JavaScript Integration: JSON is native to JavaScript
• Tool Compatibility: Many tools only support JSON
• Data Validation: JSON Schema validation

Conversion Notes

• YAML comments are not preserved in JSON (JSON does not support comments)
• YAML anchors and aliases are resolved
• Multi-line strings are converted to single-line with escaped newlines
• YAML timestamps are converted to strings

Example

# User configuration
name: Alice
age: 30
hobbies:
  - reading
  - gaming

Converts to:

{
  "name": "Alice",
  "age": 30,
  "hobbies": ["reading", "gaming"]
}
