About this tool, examples & FAQ
Convert bi-directionally between YAML configuration files and structured XML markup documents. Preserves lists, nested mappings, and data types entirely in your browser with built-in XXE protection.
Key facts
| Operations | YAML to XML (default) and XML to YAML |
|---|---|
| Configuration Options | 2 or 4 spaces indentation, custom root tag name, and attribute prefixes |
| Safety & Privacy | 100% browser-side parsing with XXE protection; no server requests |
| Maximum Input | 5 MB |
| Execution Deadline | 3 s |
How to use
- Paste YAML configuration or XML markup into the input editor.
- Select your conversion direction: YAML → XML or XML → YAML.
- Configure indentation (2 or 4 spaces) and root element names as needed.
- Click Convert (or press Ctrl/Cmd + Enter) to transform the document.
- Copy or download the converted output or Send To another connected utility.

YAML comments dropped
Standard XML does not have a lossless 1:1 mapping for trailing or inline YAML comments, so comments are omitted during translation.
Enclosing root element in XML
XML standards mandate a single top-level root node. If YAML contains multiple root properties or a top-level sequence, it is enclosed inside the configured root tag name.
XXE injection safety
External DTD entities and recursive expansion attempts are detected and rejected prior to parsing XML.
How it works
- Parses YAML using yaml parser or XML using Fast XML Parser.
- Normalizes hierarchical mappings, sequences, attributes, and text values.
- Applies indentation and root wrapper settings.
- Serializes the resulting output document in an isolated client-side Web Worker.

Frequently asked questions
Are YAML multi-document streams supported?
The converter expects single-document YAML configurations. Separate multi-document streams into individual files for conversion.
Can I convert Kubernetes or Ansible YAML to XML?
Yes. Standard Kubernetes manifests, Helm values, and Ansible playbooks can be transformed to XML markup.
Does this tool upload my configuration to any server?
No. All parsing and conversion occurs completely in your browser. No data ever leaves your computer.
