What is YAML Formatter?
Uses the yaml npm library for parsing and stringifying. The Validate button parses your input and shows the resulting JavaScript structure. The Convert buttons round-trip your data between YAML and JSON, useful when working across tools that prefer one format.
FAQ
- Does it support anchors and references?
- Yes — the underlying yaml library resolves anchors when parsing.
- What's the maximum file size it can handle?
- Since it runs in your browser, the limit depends on your device's memory. It works well for typical YAML files used in development.
- Can it convert YAML to JSON format?
- Yes, you can convert YAML to JSON and vice versa directly in the tool without any data leaving your browser.
