Data

Convert YAML to XML

Turn your YAML files into XML in seconds. Everything happens in your browser: nothing is uploaded to any server.

YAMLXML

Drag your files here

Or paste them with Ctrl+V. They never leave your device.

Why convert YAML to XML?

Indentation matters: one extra space changes the meaning. As XML it fits systems that expect tagged data.

About the formats

YAML, readable configuration

YAML represents the same data as JSON but with indentation instead of braces, meant to be read and written by hand.

Strengths: It is the configuration format of Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions and many tools.

Limits: Indentation matters: one extra space changes the meaning.

XML, tagged data

XML organises data in nested tags with attributes, like HTML but for data.

Strengths: It is the standard for many government systems, e-invoices and business integrations.

Limits: It is verbose and heavier than JSON for the same information.

How to convert YAML to XML

  1. 1Drop your YAML files in the box, paste them or pick them from your device.
  2. 2Check that the target is XML and open the options if you want to adjust it.
  3. 3Press “Convert” and download each XML, or all of them in a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

Is my YAML uploaded to a server to turn it into XML?

No. The YAML to XML conversion runs entirely in your browser, with code downloaded from this site and executed on your device. You can check it in the Network tab of the developer tools or by going offline after the page loads.

Is there a size limit?

Up to 1 GB on desktop and about 200 MB on mobile, although a huge spreadsheet may take a few seconds.

Can I convert several YAML files at once?

Yes. Drop as many YAML files as you like: several are converted at the same time, depending on your processor cores, and when they finish you can download each XML or all of them in a ZIP.
