History for this tool
The most recent data you entered in this tool, stored only in this browser.
Save what you type here, in this browser? Your work would go into this browser's local storage, so a refresh or a trip to another tool does not wipe it. You also get a short list of previous entries under the form, each one restorable with a click. Nothing is ever uploaded, and there is no account.
Being straight about the trade-off: anything kept there can be read by anyone who can use this browser profile, and by any script that later runs on this site. A tool page can hold a private key, a password or a signed token. Saving is convenient; it is not private.

About this tool
Convert YAML to JSON, preserving nesting, arrays and types. Anchors and aliases are resolved, so the output is the effective document rather than the shorthand used to write it.Questions
- What happens to a non-string key?
- JSON requires string keys, so numeric and boolean keys are converted to their string form. That is a real difference between the two formats, not a bug.
- Are duplicate keys allowed?
- No. YAML permits them but almost every parser takes the last one silently, which hides mistakes. This tool reports them instead.
