YAML to JSON

How to convert YAML to JSON?

Simply input your YAML in the editor, either by copy-pasting or by browsing and uploading a file, and it will automatically be converted to JSON in the second editor.
You can then either copy the result to your clipboard or download it as a file.
Note: This tool also supports the reverse conversion, from JSON to YAML.

Why convert YAML to JSON?

Converting YAML to JSON can be useful in certain scenarios, as both formats have different uses in various contexts. YAML is appreciated for its human-readable structure (initially, I didn't like it, but over time, I've grown to appreciate it more...), making it ideal for configuration files where clarity is essential. However, JSON is more commonly used in web applications and APIs, especially for data exchange between servers and clients, due to its lightweight and machine-friendly format.

In summary, I have no idea in which cases it is relevant to convert a YAML file to a JSON file, but you’re the one who knows! 😉
