What is JSON to YAML?
JSON to YAML is a simple and efficient tool for converting data in JSON format to YAML format.
Both JSON and YAML are widely used data serialization formats, and each format has specific uses and benefits. This tool allows you to quickly and accurately change data formats.

About Options
With Quotes
Normally, YAML will interpret strings as strings even if they are not quoted, but if you enable this option, strings other than keys will be enclosed in quotes. This ensures that strings containing special characters are interpreted correctly.
Sort Keys
If enabled, keys are sorted alphabetically when converted to YAML. For large datasets, this option improves the organization and readability of the output.
About JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)
The basic rules of JSON syntax are as follows:
- Enclose strings in double quotation marks
""(single quotation marks are not allowed) - Enclose the whole thing in
{}(objects) or[](arrays) - Key:Value makes one data point, and Key:Value is separated by a colon
: - Separate data with comma
,(no need to use commas for trailing data)

About YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language)
YAML is a more human-readable and writable format than JSON, with the following characteristics:
- Represents data structure with indentation (using spaces, not tabs)
- Quotation marks for strings are generally optional
- Allows comments (lines starting with
#) - Easier handling of multi-line strings (using
|or>)
YAML is used in many contexts, including Kubernetes configuration files and GitHub workflows.
