YAML to JSON Converter
Convert YAML to JSON format using a simple built-in parser.
How It Works
This converter uses a lightweight YAML parser implemented entirely in JavaScript with no external libraries. It handles the most common YAML structures including key-value pairs, nested objects (via indentation), arrays (using dash notation), strings (quoted and unquoted), numbers, booleans, and null values.
The parser works by analyzing indentation levels to determine the nesting structure. Lines starting with "- " at the same indentation level are grouped into arrays. Key-value pairs at the same level form objects. Inline flow syntax (brackets and braces) is also supported for compact representations.
All processing happens entirely in your browser. No data is transmitted to any server, keeping your configuration files and data private.
