About this tool
This converter covers a simple, everyday subset of YAML: top-level key and value pairs plus lists written with dashes. Each key becomes an element, each value becomes its text, and each list becomes a parent element holding item elements. Deeply nested maps, quoted multi-line strings, and anchors fall outside this subset and are best handled by a full YAML parser.
Frequently asked questions
Which YAML does this subset cover?
Top-level keys with plain values, plus lists of plain items under a key.
What happens to nested maps?
Nested maps are outside this simple subset; keep the input flat or use a full YAML parser.
