XML & YAML Tools (6 Tools)
What Are XML & YAML Tools?
XML and YAML serve critical but different roles in modern development. XML (Extensible Markup Language) remains essential for enterprise systems, SOAP APIs, configuration files (like Maven pom.xml), and document formats including SVG, RSS, and XHTML. YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) has become the standard for DevOps configuration – Docker Compose, Kubernetes manifests, GitHub Actions, Ansible playbooks, and CI/CD pipelines all use YAML. Both formats frequently need to be converted to JSON for web applications or to each other when migrating between systems. Our tools handle these transformations instantly without requiring any coding.
Common Use Cases
DevOps Configuration
Convert between YAML and JSON for Kubernetes, Docker, GitHub Actions, and other DevOps tools. Validate YAML syntax before deployment.
Legacy System Migration
Transform XML from SOAP APIs and enterprise systems to JSON for modern microservices and REST APIs.
Document Processing
Parse and format XML documents including SVG graphics, RSS feeds, and configuration files. Extract data for further processing.
Configuration Portability
Convert configuration files between formats when switching tools or platforms that prefer different serialization formats.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is XML?
XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a markup language for encoding documents in a format that's both human-readable and machine-readable. It's used for data storage, configuration, and document formats like SVG and RSS.
What is YAML and why do developers use it?
YAML is a human-friendly data serialization format. It uses indentation instead of brackets, making it easier to read. It's popular for configuration files in tools like Docker, Kubernetes, and GitHub Actions.
How do I convert XML to JSON?
Paste your XML into our XML to JSON converter and click Convert. The tool preserves the structure and converts elements to JSON objects and arrays.
