How to Convert YAML to JSON
- Paste YAML: Enter your YAML configuration into the left editor panel.
- Automatic Conversion: The tool will parse the YAML structure and output valid JSON on the right.
- Syntax Check: Real-time validation ensures your YAML indentation is correct before converting.
- Export: Copy the JSON string or download it as a .json file for your API payload or storage.
When to use YAML to JSON?
While YAML is great for writing configuration, JSON is the standard for data transmission over HTTP (REST APIs). If you write your configs in YAML but need to send them as a payload to an API, this converter is the perfect tool.
JSON is also natively supported by almost all programming languages, making it a universal choice for data exchange.
Common Parsing Errors
YAML's simplicity comes from its reliance on indentation, which can sometimes lead to issues:
- Indentation: YAML is strict about spaces. Using tabs instead of spaces is a common source of errors.
- Colons: Ensure there is a space after every colon (e.g., `key: value`, not `key:value`).
- Hyphens: Lists must start with a hyphen and a space to be parsed correctly.
