What the YAML to TSV Converter Tool does:

This converter reads a list of YAML objects and generates a tab-separated table. Each key in the YAML becomes a column, and each object becomes a row. It intelligently handles missing fields, flattens nested data (if present at the top level), and escapes special characters like tabs and newlines to keep your output clean and importable.

Example:

Input YAML:

people:
- name: Alice
age: 28
city: Paris
- name: Bob
age: 34
city: Berlin

Output TSV:

name	age	city
Alice 28 Paris
Bob 34 Berlin

Common Use Cases:

Use this tool when you need to convert structured YAML into TSV for Excel, Google Sheets, PostgreSQL, or any system that works with tabular data. It’s especially useful for flattening exports, importing into pipelines, or preparing structured logs or configs for visual analysis. No scripts required just paste, preview, and export.
