YAML input
Tree view

Converts one document using JSON-compatible values and string mapping keys. Numbers that would change during conversion, negative zero, nonfinite values, timestamps, binary data, sets, ordered maps, pairs, merge keys, cycles and unknown tags are rejected. Quote values only when text is intended; this changes their type. Ordinary aliases are expanded for JSON. Comments, quote style and numeric spelling are not retained. Limits: 2 MiB of text, 50,000 expanded values and 100 nesting levels.

How to use YAML Viewer

  1. Paste one YAML document to build an expandable view of supported values.
  2. Expand or collapse objects and arrays to inspect their keys and values.
  3. Resolve any syntax or unsupported-value error before relying on the preview.
  4. Copy YAML copies the current source text, including unfinished edits. It does not export the displayed tree.

About this tool

This browser tool works with the supported JSON-compatible subset of YAML described above. A completed result means that this conversion succeeded; it does not validate an application schema, a deployment configuration or another programming language’s parser.

Keep the original source before formatting or conversion. Formatting normalizes presentation and removes comments. The operation runs locally in this browser and does not upload the entered document to a conversion service.
