YAML ⇄ JSON Converter

Paste either one, convert to the other. Same content, different config file.

How to use

Paste YAML or JSON into the box, then click YAML → JSON or JSON → YAML depending on which direction you need.

FAQ

Is this safe to paste untrusted YAML into?

Yes - conversion uses Python's safe YAML loader, which can't deserialize arbitrary objects the way the unsafe default loader can.

Does this convert XML too?

No, XML is out of scope here since JSON and YAML map onto each other far more directly than either does onto XML.

Is my data sent to a server?

Yes, conversion runs server-side (via Python's YAML library) rather than in the browser, since that's what makes the safe-loading guarantee above possible.
