YAML Toolkit

Validate and format YAML, and convert between YAML and JSON — syntax errors, duplicate keys, parser-version gotchas, and consistent indentation — schema-agnostic, for any YAML file. All run entirely in your browser.

How these fit together

YAML Validator checks that a YAML file is well-formed — syntax errors, duplicate keys, tab indentation, unresolved aliases — plus a note on the classic yes/no/NO boolean ambiguity between YAML 1.1 and 1.2 parsers. It's schema-agnostic, checking the YAML itself rather than what any particular application expects it to contain — for Kubernetes-specific validation against real API rules, see the Kubernetes Toolkit instead. Once a file is valid, YAML Formatter re-indents it to a consistent width, with comments preserved and key order left untouched — safe to run on a file you haven't fully reviewed yet, since it reports the same parse errors instead of formatting broken YAML into something that merely looks plausible. Need to hand that same data to something that only speaks JSON, or the other way around? YAML to JSON and JSON to YAML convert between the two, through the same parser as the validator above.
