What is YAML to XML Converter?

Need to convert your YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) to XML (eXtensible Markup Language)? This tool does that instantly. XML is common in enterprise systems, SOAP APIs, and legacy integrations, while YAML is great for modern configuration files. Convert between them whenever you need.

Whether you're integrating with legacy systems, working with SOAP APIs, or migrating data formats, our converter handles the conversion perfectly. First, validate your YAML using our YAML Validator, then convert it to XML. You can also convert from other formats like JSON to YAML first if needed.

Everything happens in your browser – your data stays private. Convert, download, and use your XML file right away. After conversion, you might want to use our XML Formatter to clean up the output.

What Makes This Tool Different

Automatic Conversion

Paste YAML and get XML instantly. We handle all the syntax differences – indentation becomes tags, keys become elements, everything gets converted correctly.

Structure Preservation

Your data structure stays intact. Nested objects become nested XML elements, arrays become multiple elements, and all values are preserved.

Validation Built-In

We validate your YAML first, so you know the conversion will work. Invalid YAML gets caught before conversion starts. Use our YAML Validator separately if needed.

File Upload Support

Got a big file? Just upload it. Works great for converting those massive YAML configs or data files without copy-pasting.

Download XML

One click to download your XML file. Drop it into your project, use it in SOAP APIs, or any XML-based system. Then format it with our XML Formatter.

Standards Compliant

The XML output follows XML standards. Valid XML that works with any XML parser, validator, or tool. Use our XML Validator to verify.

How It Works

Paste or Upload YAML

Paste your YAML into the left editor, or click "Upload" to load a file. The YAML should be valid – use our YAML Validator first if you're not sure. You can also click "Sample" to see an example.

Automatic Conversion

As soon as you paste, the converter processes your YAML and displays the XML output on the right. Nested structures become nested XML elements, keys become tags, and arrays become multiple elements.

Download or Copy

Click "Download" to save the XML file, or "Copy" to copy it to your clipboard. The XML is ready to use in SOAP APIs, enterprise systems, or any XML-based application. Format it with our XML Formatter for better readability.

When You'd Actually Use This

Legacy System Integration

Convert YAML configs to XML for integration with legacy systems that require XML format. Perfect for enterprise integrations or SOAP API requirements.

SOAP APIs

Convert YAML data to XML for SOAP API requests. Many SOAP services require XML format, making this conversion essential for API integration.

Data Migration

Migrate YAML data to XML-based systems. Convert data formats when moving between systems or integrating with applications that prefer XML.

Enterprise Tools

Work with enterprise tools that require XML format. Convert YAML configs or data files to XML for use in enterprise applications or legacy systems.

Common Questions

Is my YAML data stored?

Nope. Everything happens right in your browser. Your YAML never leaves your computer – we don't even see it.

How are nested structures handled?

Nested YAML structures become nested XML elements. Keys become XML tags, and nested objects become child elements. Arrays become multiple XML elements.

Can I convert XML back to YAML?

Yep. Use our XML to YAML converter to convert XML files back to YAML format. The conversion works both ways.

Is the XML valid?

Yes. The XML output follows XML standards and is valid XML. You can verify it with our XML Validator or format it with our XML Formatter.

What about XML attributes?

YAML keys are converted to XML elements. If you need attributes, you may need to manually adjust the XML after conversion or use specialized XML tools.

Does it work with large datasets?

Yep. Since everything happens in your browser, it depends on your device. Small to medium YAML structures convert instantly. Really huge structures might take a few seconds.

Other YAML Tools You Might Need

Conversion is just one YAML task. Here are other tools that work well together:
