YAML ↔ JSON Converter

YAML vs JSON

YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a human-readable data serialization standard often used for configuration files (like Docker Compose, Kubernetes, and GitHub Actions).

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is the language of the web, used primarily for transmitting data between a server and web application.

Why Convert?

• Debugging: JSON is stricter. Converting YAML to JSON often reveals subtle indentation errors or type mismatches.
• Compatibility: Many APIs require JSON payloads, but developers prefer writing configs in YAML because it is easier to read.
• Validation: Use this tool to ensure your `docker-compose.yml` or Kubernetes manifest parses correctly before deploying.
