YAML to JSON

What is YAML to JSON?

The converter parses YAML, including anchors and multi-line strings, and outputs equivalent JSON with two-space indentation. Parsing errors usually point to inconsistent indentation or tabs.

1. Paste your input into the editor above, or select Sample to load an example.
2. Select Convert to JSON. If the input cannot be processed, a message explains what to fix.
3. Use Copy or Download to take the result with you, and Clear to start again.

  ]
