Convert YAML to XML

Configuration files increasingly live in YAML, but plenty of consumers still require XML. Convert YAML to XML parses your YAML — nested mappings, sequences, quoted scalars, comments and flow styles — and emits valid, prettified XML that matches the source structure.

The conversion rules are yours: choose the root element name, decide whether @-prefixed keys become attributes, and pick compact or formatted output. Because the parser runs in your browser, config files never leave your machine.

• Indentation-based YAML parser: nested mappings and sequences follow YAML block structure.
• Sequence support: list items become repeated sibling elements, including multi-line map items.
• Quoted scalars: single and double quoted strings are parsed with the usual escaping.
• Comments stripped: inline and full-line comments are ignored during parsing.
• Flow styles: basic inline arrays [a, b] and maps {k: v} are supported.
• Scalar typing: numbers, booleans and null are recognised and rendered as text.
• Attribute option: @-prefixed keys become XML attributes with a configurable prefix.
• Custom root element: name the outer tag to match your target schema.
• Prettified by default: readable, indented XML; compact mode for payloads.
• Copy, download or print: the XML is a click from your clipboard.

1. Paste your YAML or load it from a file.
2. Set the root element name for the outer tag.
3. Choose attribute handling — enable @-key attributes and set the prefix if needed.
4. Pick prettified or compact output.
5. Copy or download the XML, or print it to PDF.

Example 1 — Config migration. An application ships YAML configuration but a downstream system accepts XML. Convert with the root element matching the target format and feed it straight in.

Example 2 — CI pipelines. YAML job definitions converted to XML can drive older build orchestrators that predate YAML-native tooling.

Example 3 — Data exchange. YAML exports converted to XML slot into XML-based partners without rewriting the source data.

Example 4 — Round-trip verification. Convert YAML to XML, then use the XML to YAML tool on the result. Matching structure confirms your mapping rules.

• Modern to legacy — YAML configs made XML-consumable.
• Real YAML parsing — nested blocks, sequences and quotes handled properly.
• Schema-friendly output — root name and attributes are your choice.
• Readable or compact — both output styles available.
• Free and private — local parsing, nothing uploaded.
