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.

How it works

The document is parsed and re-serialized with two-space indentation. Comments are not preserved.

Private by design

Developer data is often sensitive: API responses, tokens, customer records, internal configs. This YAML Formatter processes everything locally in your browser tab. There is no server round-trip, no logging and no storage of your input.
