How to Use:

Paste your JSON into the input box on the left. You can also import a .json or .txt file using the Choose File button. Then adjust the Options to control how the output is formatted:

  • Trim string values: Removes extra whitespace from around all string values.
  • Pretty print: Adds indentation and line breaks for more readable YAML.

The YAML output appears live on the right as soon as you change input or settings. Use Copy Output to copy the result, or Export to File to download it. Press Clear All to reset and start fresh.

What the JSON to YAML Converter Tool does:

This tool parses valid JSON and converts it into properly formatted YAML. You can control whitespace trimming and indentation for clean, readable output. It automatically handles nested structures, arrays, booleans, numbers, and quoted strings safely using standard YAML formatting rules.

Example:

Input JSON:

{
  "person": {
    "name": "Alice",
    "age": 28,
    "city": "Paris"
  }
}

Output YAML:

person:
  name: Alice
  age: 28
  city: Paris

Common Use Cases:

Use this tool to convert JSON into YAML for API requests, config files, or front-end data. It’s especially useful when preparing YAML for systems like Kubernetes, Ansible, Jekyll, or static site generators. No scripting needed just paste, format, and export.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

If you’re moving between config styles, YAML to JSON Converter brings things back for apps or APIs that expect JSON input. And when you’re prepping that structure for table-based tools, JSON to CSV Converter gives you a spreadsheet-ready format that’s easy to manipulate or share.
