YAML Editor

YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a human-friendly data serialization standard for all programming languages.

Key features of YAML:

• Readable syntax: YAML is designed to be easy for humans to read and write.
• Hierarchical structure: YAML uses indentation to represent structure, making it ideal for configuration files.
• Widely supported: YAML is supported by many programming languages and tools.
• Flexible data types: Supports scalars, lists, and associative arrays (maps).

This tool helps you work with YAML data client-side, with all processing happening in your browser for privacy and security.

Here's an example of a YAML object representing a person:

person:
name: John Doe
age: 30
isActive: true
address:
  street: 123 Main St
  city: Anytown
  zipCode: 12345
phoneNumbers:
  - type: home
    number: 555-1234
  - type: work
    number: 555-5678

Common YAML data types:

• String: name: "John"
• Number: age: 30
• Boolean: isActive: true
• Object: address: { city: Anytown }
• Array: tags: [developer, designer]
• Null: middleName: null

Using YAML in Different Languages

Here are examples of how to work with YAML in different programming languages:

const yaml = require('js-yaml');
const obj = yaml.load(yamlString);
const yamlStr = yaml.dump(obj);

import yaml
obj = yaml.safe_load(yaml_string)
yaml_str = yaml.dump(obj)

import "gopkg.in/yaml.v3"
var obj map[string]interface{}
yaml.Unmarshal([]byte(yamlString), &obj)
data, _ := yaml.Marshal(obj)
