XML to YAML Converter – Free, Private, In Your Browser
The XML to YAML converter parses XML into a plain object, then serializes that object as YAML with js-yaml. Attributes become keys with a configurable prefix, text content uses a configurable key such as #text, and repeated elements become arrays. You can also choose whether numbers and booleans are parsed.
The XML to YAML converter turns XML input into YAML in your browser. It first parses XML into a plain object, then serializes that object as YAML with js-yaml. This gives developers and DevOps engineers a practical way to convert XML to YAML online when a tool, workflow, or document calls for YAML.
During conversion, XML attributes are represented as keys using an attribute prefix, text content is stored under a configurable text key, and repeated elements become arrays. The stated conventions include @keys for attributes and #text for text content. You can configure the attribute prefix and text key, and choose whether to parse numbers and booleans. The resulting object is then serialized as YAML.
XML represents structured information with elements and attributes, while YAML represents data in a format designed to be readable as well as structured. Converting between them can help when you need to move XML data into a system that accepts YAML, prepare a snippet for documentation, or inspect the same data in another format. The mapping options let you adapt how attributes and text appear in the YAML result.
The conversion runs entirely in your browser: no data is sent to a server, and no signup is required. After the page has loaded, the tool works offline, so you can convert input without a connection. This is useful for anyone who wants a quick, private way to convert XML and copy the resulting YAML.
This tool can help developers and DevOps engineers prepare data for another system, review a conversion before using it in code, or share a readable snippet with teammates. My-DevTools also provides a separate reverse-conversion page for taking the same content back to XML without retyping it.
Step 1: Paste your XML into the input. The tool parses it into a plain object before creating the YAML output.
Step 2: Adjust the attribute prefix and text key if you want different names for mapped XML attributes and text content.
Step 3: Choose whether to parse numbers and booleans. This controls how those values are represented in the converted object.
Step 4: Review and copy the YAML result for use in your code, documentation, ticket, or another tool.
Use case: Move XML data into a system that accepts YAML. Convert the structure into YAML and copy the result into the destination.
Use case: Check whether a YAML value you received matches the structure of an XML original. The conversion gives you another representation to compare.
Use case: Prepare an XML snippet for documentation, a ticket, or a commit message. Copy the YAML output into the place where it is easier for your team to review.
Use case: Sanity-check a conversion before adding the result to code. Review how attributes, text, and repeated elements are represented.
Use case: Convert XML configuration or data when a workflow requires YAML. Adjust the mapping options to choose the attribute prefix, text key, and number or boolean parsing behavior.
Use case: Share a readable representation of XML data with a teammate. The YAML output can be copied into a discussion or review without retyping the content.
