XML to YAML Converter — Browser Data Format Tool

Developer

The XML to YAML converter is a browser-based developer tool that parses XML, normalizes it into a shared data structure, and serializes it as YAML.

XML to YAML Converter

Runs in this browserInput is processed only in this browser. It is not sent to or stored on a server.

Input stays in this browser. Converting XML to YAML can normalize comments, ordering, and advanced types; CSV/TSV use header-row object arrays.

What is it

Use this tool when moving config files, API samples, or tabular data between formats. It processes XML examples such as <items> / <item active="true"> in the browser without upload. CSV/TSV is converted through header-based object arrays, while XML attributes use an @ prefix and text nodes use #text.

YAML = serialize(parse(XML))

How to use

1Paste the XML input.
2Press Convert to YAML.
3If parsing fails, check the error and fix the input.
4Copy the result into your code or document.

FAQ

Is XML input sent to a server?

No. Parsing and serialization run in the browser, and the input is not sent to a server.

Are data types preserved when converting XML to YAML?

Strings, numbers, booleans, arrays, and objects are preserved where the target format supports them. CSV/TSV are mostly string-based because they do not carry rich type metadata.

Are any syntax features unsupported?

Advanced YAML tags, complex XML namespace semantics, and some TOML-specific values may be normalized into JSON-compatible structures or reported as errors.
