JSON → YAML

POST /api/json-to-yaml

Convert JSON to YAML. Quotes strings that need quoting; uses block-style for mappings and sequences. Configurable indentation.

Translates JSON into the equivalent YAML document. Quoting follows YAML 1.2 rules — only strings that would be misinterpreted (those that look like numbers, booleans, or YAML keywords) are quoted; everything else is unquoted. Block style is used for mappings and sequences for human readability. Set `indent` to control indentation depth (default 2).

Inputs

Name	Type	Default	Description
json*	file	—	The JSON document.

Response

Modes: text, json. Cache: yes (24h TTL).
