About YAML Parser

Parsing YAML turns text into nested maps, lists and values. Seeing that result is the quickest way to debug a config file that is not doing what you expect. The tree shows the type of each value, so a string that should have been a number is easy to spot.

The code tab shows the same data written back as YAML in a normalised form.

Frequently asked questions

Which YAML version is supported?

YAML 1.2 with the core schema, which is what most modern tools use.

How are timestamps handled?

Unquoted ISO dates become timestamps. Quote them if you want them to stay strings.

Can I parse a file with several documents?

Yes, documents separated by --- show up as a list.
