Convert YAML to JSON and JSON to YAML, with errors shown by line and column.
Only need to tidy JSON? Use the JSON formatter. Turning JSON into code types? Try JSON to TypeScript.
They hold the same kind of data: lists, key-value maps, text and numbers. JSON uses braces, brackets and quotes and is common in APIs. YAML uses indentation instead, allows comments, and is common in config files like Docker Compose, Kubernetes and GitHub Actions.
Comments can't be stored in JSON, so they're dropped when converting YAML to JSON. Everything else, including anchors and aliases, is turned into plain JSON values.
Most often it's indentation: YAML uses spaces (not tabs), and items at the same level must line up exactly. The error message gives the line and column to look at.
No. Converting happens in your browser, so it's safe for config files with secrets.
