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 TSV
TSV (tab-separated values) works like CSV but separates columns with tabs, which makes it the format you get when copying cells out of Excel, Google Sheets or a database client.
How it works
Nested objects are flattened into dot-separated column names (for example address.city) and arrays are written as JSON inside a cell. If your YAML wraps a list in an object, the list is used as the rows.
Private by design
Developer data is often sensitive: API responses, tokens, customer records, internal configs. This YAML to TSV processes everything locally in your browser tab. There is no server round-trip, no logging and no storage of your input.

Does the YAML to TSV conversion lose data?
Nested objects are flattened into dot-separated column names (for example address.city) and arrays are written as JSON inside a cell. If your YAML wraps a list in an object, the list is used as the rows.
