YAML Configuration Management

YAML is the standard format for modern infrastructure configuration. Kubernetes manifests, Docker Compose files, GitHub Actions workflows, and CI/CD pipelines all use YAML. Consistent formatting prevents errors and improves collaboration.

Indentation Matters

YAML uses indentation for structure — inconsistent spacing causes syntax errors. Our formatter normalizes indentation to your preferred style (2 or 4 spaces) and catches common problems like tabs mixed with spaces.

Multi-Document Support

YAML files can contain multiple documents separated by ---. Our formatter handles multi-document files correctly, preserving document boundaries while formatting each section consistently.

Syntax Validation

Syntax errors in YAML can cause deployment failures. The validator catches issues like improper quoting, invalid anchors, duplicate keys, and indentation mistakes before they cause problems in production.

YAML to JSON Conversion

Convert YAML configuration files to JSON for use in applications that don't support YAML natively. The conversion preserves all data types, nested structures, and array ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. It catches indentation errors, duplicate keys, invalid types, and the notorious YAML boolean trap (values like 'yes', 'no', 'on' parsed as booleans).

Yes. Sort keys alphabetically at all nesting levels, or just the top level. Useful for consistent configuration file formatting.
