What is a YAML to JSON Converter?
Kubernetes, CI pipelines and configs speak YAML; APIs and code speak JSON. Hand-converting fails on exactly the things YAML is tricky about: indentation, quoting, type coercion.
A real YAML parser does the conversion, so anchors, nested lists and scalar types come out as correct JSON.
Frequently asked questions
Why did my “no” become false?
YAML 1.1 coerces yes/no/on/off to booleans: a famous footgun (the “Norway problem”: NO → false). Quote strings that must stay strings.
Are anchors and aliases supported?
Yes: &anchor/*alias references are expanded into the JSON.
Multiple YAML documents (---)?
The first document converts; split multi-doc files first.
Are comments preserved?
JSON has no comments, so they are necessarily dropped.
