Why convert JSON to YAML?

YAML is the config language of Docker Compose, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, and countless tools. It's far easier to read and hand-edit than JSON.

How the conversion works

Convertur parses your JSON and serialises it to YAML with js-yaml, preserving nesting, arrays, and data types exactly.

Quality & compatibility notes

Output uses standard block-style YAML with two-space indentation, valid for any YAML 1.1/1.2 parser.

How to json to yaml

  1. Drop a .json file into the zone above, or paste JSON into the text tab.
  2. Press Convert to serialise it locally in your browser.
  3. Preview the YAML, then download it.
