What is the Data Format Converter?

Software applications usually store their settings and configuration data in files called 'YAML' or 'JSON'. Sometimes, one program needs the data in YAML, but you only have it in JSON (or vice-versa). This tool instantly translates the data back and forth between the two formats so your programs can understand it.

How to use it

  1. Choose the direction you want to convert (YAML to JSON, or JSON to YAML).
  2. Paste your code into the left editor panel.
  3. The tool will instantly translate the code and display the result in the right panel.
  4. If there is a syntax error in your code, the tool will highlight the exact line where the mistake is so you can fix it.

Common Use Cases

  • >Converting a complex Docker or Kubernetes settings file from YAML into JSON for an automated script.
  • >Making a hard-to-read JSON configuration file easier for a human to read by converting it to YAML.
  • >Checking if a hand-typed data file has any hidden spelling mistakes or broken formatting before uploading it to a server.
