How to use YAML Formatter

Paste your YAML, and the tool validates it and re-indents it with consistent spacing.

Frequently asked questions

Why is YAML indentation important?

YAML uses indentation to define structure, like Python. Incorrect indentation changes meaning or makes YAML invalid. Proper formatting ensures correct parsing.

Can it convert between YAML styles?

The formatter uses standard YAML style with 2-space indentation. It normalizes different styles to consistent formatting.

Does it validate YAML syntax?

Yes, the formatter attempts to parse YAML and will show errors if the syntax is invalid, helping you debug configuration files.
