10How it works
β What is YAML? YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a human-readable config format that uses indentation for hierarchy. Widely used in Kubernetes manifests, CI/CD (e.g. GitHub Actions), Docker Compose, etc. β What is JSON? JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) represents key-value pairs, arrays, and nested objects as text. Commonly used for API requests/responses and data exchange. β How conversion works The tool parses the YAML into an object and serializes it to formatted JSON (2-space indent). All processing runs in the browser.
