YAML vs JSON: Which Should You Use?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)

JSON is the standard for data exchange on the web. It is strict, easy for machines to parse, and supported by almost every programming language natively. Use JSON for APIs, configuration files that don't require comments, and data storage.

YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language)

YAML focuses on human readability. It uses indentation instead of brackets and supports comments, making it cleaner for configuration files. Use YAML for DevOps tools (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD pipelines, and application configuration.

Why Convert Between Formats?

Developers often need to convert between these formats because different tools require different inputs. For example, you might receive a JSON response from an API but need to feed that data into a defined Kubernetes YAML manifest.

Our converter handles this instantly in your browser, without sending your data to any server, ensuring your sensitive configuration keys remain private.

Config File Converter

DevOps engineers often need to switch between YAML (Kubernetes/Docker) and JSON (APIs). This tool makes that switch seamless and error-free.
