Tooloat

JSON to YAML converter

Turn JSON into readable YAML for configuration files such as Kubernetes and CI pipelines. Indentation and quoting follow YAML conventions.

Tooloat runs in your browser and needs JavaScript. It opens in a moment, and your files are processed on your device.

How it works

  1. Paste your data or open a file.
  2. Choose the input and output formats.
  3. Copy or download the converted data.

Why use it

  • Readable output.
  • Round trips back to JSON.
  • Large files fine.
  • Private.

Questions and answers

Is YAML a superset of JSON?

Effectively, most JSON is valid YAML, but YAML adds comments and anchors that do not exist in JSON.

Are comments kept?

JSON has none, so YAML output has none.
