YAML to JSON

Workforge YAML to JSON converts in both directions - YAML to JSON and JSON to YAML - right in your browser. The parser implements the full YAML 1.2 spec including anchors, aliases, multi-line strings (literal and folded), and multi-document files split by the --- separator. Types are preserved end to end: strings stay strings, numbers stay numbers, booleans stay booleans, nulls stay nulls, and dates parse as ISO 8601 timestamps.

JSON output is pretty-printed with either 2 or 4 space indent (your choice) and matches the shape of the source YAML exactly. The reverse direction, JSON to YAML, uses block style by default because that is what humans read; a flow-style option produces the compact inline form when you need it. Multi-doc YAML files export as a JSON array (or, in reverse, an array of JSON documents converts to a multi-doc YAML file).

Validation runs live as you type. Errors highlight the exact line and column with a message explaining what went wrong. A sort-keys option produces alphabetically ordered output for reproducible diffs in code review. Line-endings normalize to LF by default with a CRLF option for Windows-only workflows.

Online YAML converters that upload your data are a real risk because YAML is where config lives - and config often contains secrets, endpoints, and infrastructure detail. Workforge YAML to JSON runs entirely in your browser, so a Kubernetes manifest, Docker Compose file, or CI config never leaves your device.
