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.

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.

Private by design

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