YAML to JSON Converter - Convert YAML to JSON Online

Our free YML to JSON converter allows you to easily convert YML files and data to equivalent JSON format.

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a ubiquitous data format with wide support. Our converter transforms YAML into portable JSON for broader compatibility.

Why Convert?

Here are some common reasons:

  • Use existing YAML data with systems only supporting JSON
  • Output JSON for web services and APIs instead of YAML
  • Leverage JSON's portability across programming languages
  • Work with YAML configuration data in JSON format
  • Take advantage of broader JSON tooling and support
  • Provide a widely accessible data format vs YAML

Overall, conversion enables compatibility with JSON-based systems and services.

How Our Tool Works

Using our converter is simple:

  1. Paste or upload your YAML data
  2. Click the "Convert" button to transform
  3. The equivalent JSON will be generated
  4. Download the converted JSON if required

The tool automatically handles mapping YAML types and structures to valid JSON formatting. Give it a try!

Example YAML to JSON Conversion

Given this sample data:

name: John
age: 30
skills:
  - Coding
  - Math
    

The converted output would be:

{
  "name": "John",
  "age": 30,
  "skills": [
    "Coding",
    "Math"
  ]
}
    

The data is transformed into portable, widely supported JSON format.

Uses for Converted JSON

The JSON converted can be used:

  • To work with existing YAML in JSON-based systems
  • For web services that require JSON payloads
  • Storing document data in JSON-oriented NoSQL databases
  • Interchange between programs leveraging JSON libraries
  • Transmitting structured data in web apps and sites
  • Any application requiring portable JSON output

JSON unlocks broad capabilities from YAML data.
