YAML's syntax is similar to that of other high-level languages and can easily represent data forms such as lists, hash tables and scalars. It uses whitespace indentation and relies heavily on appearance, making it especially suitable for expressing or editing data structures, various configuration files, debug dumps and file outlines (for example, many email header formats are very close to YAML). Although it is better suited to expressing hierarchical-model data structures, it also has refined syntax for representing relational-model data. Because YAML uses whitespace characters and line breaks to separate data, it is especially suitable for manipulation with grep/Python/Perl/Ruby. Its most approachable feature is that it cleverly avoids various delimiting symbols, such as quotation marks and different kinds of brackets, which become complex and hard to read in nested structures.
This tool belongs to the “JSON tools” category.
Your input is processed locally in the browser whenever possible. We do not store it.
Almost always unquoted keys, single quotes, a trailing comma or an inline comment. The JSON standard allows none of those.
Parsing runs synchronously in the browser, so a few megabytes are fine. For larger files use the compact view or a local tool.
The URL must be publicly reachable and must not require a login. Anti-hotlinking or same-origin rules will block the request.
