How to use
Open YAML Toolkit — Open the tool and wait for controls.
Paste YAML or JSON — Paste into the input. Data stays local.
Choose a mode — Format, minify, validate, or convert.
Copy output — Copy the result into your config or editor.
Limits
Requires JavaScript. Extremely large inputs may slow the browser tab. Results depend on your browser APIs; there is no server-side processing quota because nothing is uploaded.
When to use
When you want a quick, free utility without creating an account or sending content to an online converter.
When not to use
When you need server-side integration, batch automation at scale, or certified compliance tooling.
Privacy note
Tool inputs are processed in your browser only. Theme, language and favorites may use localStorage; hosting may keep standard access logs (IP, UA, URL) without tool payloads.
FAQ(5)
Is YAML uploaded?
No. Parsing and conversion use self-hosted js-yaml in your browser.
YAML vs JSON mode?
Format/minify/validate work on YAML; switch modes to convert YAML ↔ JSON.
Why did parsing fail?
Check indentation (spaces, not tabs in most cases) and quote special characters.
Does it support anchors/aliases?
js-yaml supports common YAML 1.2 constructs; exotic tags may not round-trip.
Offline after first load?
Yes—the vendor script is same-origin; after cache, you can keep working offline.
