This free online tool converts data between YAML and JSON formats. Both are popular data serialization standards used for configuration files and data exchange.
Example YAML for Testing:
name: John Doe
age: 30
is_student: false
address:
street: 123 Main St
city: New York
zipcode: "10001"
hobbies:
- reading
- swimming
- coding
contact:
email: john@example.com
phone: null
Example JSON for Testing:
{
"name": "John Doe",
"age": 30,
"isStudent": false,
"address": {
"street": "123 Main St",
"city": "New York",
"zipcode": "10001"
},
"hobbies": [
"reading",
"swimming",
"coding"
],
"contact": {
"email": "john@example.com",
"phone": null
}
}
Key Differences:
- YAML: Uses indentation for structure, no braces or brackets needed. More human-readable, supports comments
- JSON: Uses braces
{}and brackets[]for structure, requires quotes for keys. More widely supported
Tip: Copy the example above to test the converter, then try with your own data.
