XML to YAML Converter

How it works

How to use the XML to YAML

1. Paste or open XML

   Paste your XML, drop a file onto the editor, or load the sample.

2. Adjust the options

   Output uses block style with 2-space indentation; multiple YAML documents become a JSON array.

3. Copy or download the YAML

   The output updates as you type. Invalid input is highlighted with the exact line and column.

About XML and YAML

XML (Extensible Markup Language) represents data as nested elements with attributes. It is still everywhere in enterprise systems, SOAP services, RSS feeds, Office documents and Android resources.

YAML is a human-friendly superset of JSON that uses indentation instead of braces. It is the format of Kubernetes manifests, Docker Compose, GitHub Actions and most CI configs.

How the conversion works

Output uses block style with 2-space indentation; multiple YAML documents become a JSON array. Attributes become keys prefixed with "@" and element text becomes "#text"; repeated elements become arrays. Conversion happens entirely in your browser, so even sensitive data never leaves your device.
