This tool parses YAML and serialises it as an XML document. Objects become XML elements, arrays become repeated elements, and scalars become text content. All processing happens in your browser — no data is sent to a server.
Convert YAML — the format favoured by Kubernetes, Ansible, and Docker Compose — into XML for systems that still expect it: SOAP services, legacy enterprise integrations, and many sitemap or feed pipelines. Mapping keys become element names, sequences become repeated child elements, and @-prefixed keys are emitted as XML attributes.
Special XML metacharacters in values are escaped to entities (&, <, >, ", '), so the output is always well-formed. Include or omit the <?xml version="1.0"?> declaration and choose pretty-printed indentation or a single compressed line. The conversion is the inverse of XML→YAML, so a round-trip preserves structure.
Keys whose name starts with @ are emitted as attributes (e.g. "@id": 3 becomes <item id="3">). Every other key becomes a child element. The convention matches the inverse XML→YAML mapping so a round-trip is lossless.
Each item in a sequence becomes a repeated child element with the same name as the sequence’s key. So {items: [a, b]} becomes <items>a</items><items>b</items> by default — or you can wrap them in a parent <items> element with each child as <item>.
Yes. The XML metacharacters &, <, >, ", and ' are escaped to entities so the output is always well-formed and parseable by any XML reader.
No — parsing uses a JavaScript YAML library in your browser and XML emission is local string assembly.
