Turn XML configs into readable YAML structure.
XML to YAML conversion helps when migrating legacy XML configs to YAML-first tools like Kubernetes, Ansible, or CI pipelines. The hierarchical shape of XML maps naturally to YAML's indentation model.
Paste XML on the left and review YAML output on the right. Edit either side to refine structure before copying into your repo. Processing is entirely local.
For format trade-offs, see JSON vs YAML: when to use each.
Step-by-step guide for XML to YAML Converter. Everything runs locally in your browser.
This page converts XML to YAML Converter. Nested elements become structured data; repeated records flatten for tabular formats (CSV, HTML table).
For CSV/HTML, use XML with consistent record elements (e.g. repeated <row> or <item> siblings).
Need JSON, YAML, Markdown, or HTML instead? Use the dedicated converter pages from the Features menu, or XML Editor Pro for every mode in one workspace.

Common questions about XML to YAML Converter.
Yes. Parsing, formatting, diffing, validation, XPath, transforms, and XSLT all run inside your browser.
Data is not sent to a server. The only local storage is your session in localStorage, which
you can clear in browser settings.
After the first visit (when Monaco and assets are cached), you can edit, format, diff, and transform without a network connection. “Load from URL” still needs network access and a CORS-friendly server.
Auto-fix handles many well-formedness problems: unclosed or mismatched tags, duplicate attributes,
unquoted attribute values, bare & in text, broken comments and CDATA sections, and orphan
closing tags. It appears in the status bar when parsing fails and inside Validate mode with per-error fix
buttons. Auto-fix does not change XSD-valid content — it only makes XML syntactically parseable so you can
continue editing or run schema validation.
Yes. Open Diff mode (Ctrl/⌘+D), paste the second file on side B, and keep Sort enabled on both sides. Sibling elements are reordered using a stable canonical ordering so equivalent documents align. Turn Sort off when sequence matters (e.g. ordered event lists).
Quick try: load the sample catalog, open Diff, paste the same XML on B but swap the two
<book> blocks. With Sort on, the diff should be empty; with Sort off, you will see the
blocks highlighted as changed lines.
Those options rebuild the view from your source text: Sort reorders elements; Ignore WS normalises whitespace in text nodes and tells the diff engine to ignore leading/trailing spaces on each line. Your stored source is kept separately so toggling options updates the display without losing the original unless you edit the diff pane itself.
When Sort or Ignore WS is on, the file is parsed with
DOMParser and comments are not preserved in the diff view. For comment-sensitive compares,
turn both off on that side — Format/Minify still work on the raw text.
XPath 1.0 (browser document.evaluate). Unprefixed names match local element names; the
sample catalog avoids a default namespace so paths like /catalog/book/title work as
expected.
JSON, YAML, CSV, Markdown, and HTML table. Pick a target in Transform mode and click Convert. Conversion uses the browser DOM — very large documents may take a moment.
