About JSON
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is the default data format of web APIs, package manifests and most configuration tooling. It supports objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans and null.
About YAML
YAML is an indentation-based format used for Kubernetes manifests, Docker Compose, GitHub Actions, OpenAPI specs and countless config files. It is a superset of JSON that favours readability.
Private by design
Developer data is often sensitive: API responses, tokens, customer records, internal configs. This JSON to YAML processes everything locally in your browser tab. There is no server round-trip, no logging and no storage of your input. Prefer a native app? Read about JSON to YAML in DevT Pro.
