Convert XML to YAML

YAML is where configuration lives — CI pipelines, Kubernetes manifests, Ansible playbooks, docker-compose files. Convert XML to YAML maps your XML tree onto the same clean mapping-and-sequence structure, so existing XML configs and data exports can move into YAML-native tooling.

The conversion rules are yours to set: attribute prefix, text key, array behaviour, number parsing, indentation and quote style. The output is formatted with correct nesting and conservative quoting, so what you see is what parses. Everything happens locally in your browser.

• Mapping and sequence output: elements become YAML mappings, repeats become sequences.
• Configurable attribute prefix: default @, matching common xml-to-json conventions.
• Configurable text key: default #text; pure-text elements become scalars.
• Array control: sequences for repeats only, or for every element.
• Numeric parsing: numeric-looking values become YAML numbers rather than strings.
• Indentation choice: 2, 4, 8 or tab to match your project.
• Quote-style control: plain, single or double quoting for strings.
• Conservative quoting: ambiguous or unsafe strings are quoted so the YAML round-trips losslessly.
• Copy, download or print: the YAML is a click from your clipboard.
• Private by design: local conversion, no uploads.

1. Paste your XML or load it from a file.
2. Configure the mapping — attribute prefix, text key, numeric parsing and array handling.
3. Pick indentation and quote style to match the consuming tools.
4. Review the YAML and adjust until the structure is right.
5. Copy or download the YAML, or print it to PDF.

Example 1 — Config migration. An application ships XML configuration; your new setup uses YAML. Convert once with the attribute prefix set to your convention and the file slots straight into the new loader.

Example 2 — Pipeline authoring. XML job definitions converted to YAML read naturally in CI configs and orchestrators that favour YAML over angle brackets.

Example 3 — Data inspection. Converting an XML export to YAML makes nested structure visible with indentation instead of tags, which is often faster to read.

Example 4 — Infrastructure as code. XML metadata converted to YAML flows into manifests and playbooks, with sequences for repeated resources kept intact.

• YAML-native output — mappings and sequences that parse cleanly.
• Lossless round-trips — conservative quoting protects special values.
• Convention control — prefix, text key, arrays, numbers and quotes are your choice.
• Readable by construction — correct nesting and indentation.
• Free and private — local conversion, nothing uploaded.
