How does it represent YAML lists in XML, since XML doesn't have a native array concept?

Lists are typically converted to repeated sibling elements with the same tag name, the standard convention for representing array-like data in XML.

Does it validate the YAML before converting?

Yes, invalid YAML syntax is flagged rather than producing an incorrect or incomplete conversion.

Can I convert XML back to YAML too?

Yes, conversion works in both directions.

Does YAML ↔ XML Converter upload my files to a server?

No. YAML ↔ XML Converter runs entirely in your browser using on-device processing, your files never leave your device.

About this tool

YAML and XML represent structured data with very different syntax conventions, and some configuration systems, legacy tools and APIs specifically expect one format over the other.
