What YAML features are supported?

This lightweight parser handles standard key-value pairs, nested objects, arrays (dash notation), strings, numbers, booleans, and null values. It covers the most common YAML patterns used in configuration files.

What YAML features are NOT supported?

Advanced features like anchors (&), aliases (*), multi-line block scalars (| and >), and custom types are not fully supported. For these, a full-featured YAML library is recommended.

Can I convert Kubernetes manifests?

Yes, for straightforward manifests with standard key-value pairs and lists. Complex manifests with anchors or multi-document streams may need a full YAML parser.

Is the output valid JSON?

Yes. The output is valid, properly formatted JSON with 2-space indentation that can be used in any JSON-compatible tool or API.

Yes. Conversion happens entirely in your browser. No data is sent to any server.

Usage notes

This is a lightweight YAML parser that handles common structures.
For highly complex YAML (anchors, multi-line blocks), consider a full YAML library.
Great for quickly converting Kubernetes or Docker Compose configs to JSON.
