YAML ↔ JSON Converter
Convert between YAML and JSON formats with syntax validation and proper formatting
Examples:
About YAML and JSON
- • YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a human-readable data serialization format
- • JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format
- • YAML uses indentation for structure, while JSON uses brackets and braces
- • YAML supports comments and multi-line strings, JSON does not
- • JSON is a subset of YAML 1.2 specification
- • Both formats are commonly used for configuration files and data exchange
Conversion Notes:
- • YAML comments are not preserved when converting to JSON
- • YAML aliases and anchors are resolved during conversion
- • Date/time values may be converted to strings
- • Preserves Unicode characters and special formatting
