About this tool
This converter covers a simple, everyday subset of XML: elements with text, nested elements, and basic attributes. It walks the tag tree and writes YAML with indentation showing the same nesting, so a small config or data snippet becomes readable in a YAML-style layout. Complex XML with namespaces, mixed content, or repeated list elements may need a fuller parser, which is why this tool is labelled as a subset.
Frequently asked questions
Which XML does this subset cover?
Elements with text, nested elements, and simple double-quoted attributes.
What about namespaces or mixed content?
Those fall outside this simple subset and may not convert faithfully; use a full XML parser for them.
