What is TOON to YAML Converter?

Need to convert your TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation) data to YAML format? This tool converts TOON to YAML instantly. Perfect for configuration files, CI/CD pipelines, Docker Compose files, or any system that uses YAML.

YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a human-readable data serialization format widely used for configuration files. Our converter decodes your TOON data and transforms it into properly formatted YAML with correct indentation, structure, and syntax. Arrays, objects, and nested structures are all handled correctly.

Everything happens in your browser – your data stays private. Convert, download, and use your YAML file right away. You can also validate your TOON first using our TOON Validator or convert it to JSON with our TOON to JSON converter.

What Makes This Tool Different

Proper YAML Syntax

Generates valid YAML that follows YAML 1.2 specification. Proper indentation, key-value pairs, and structure ensure compatibility with any YAML parser.

Human Readable

YAML output is clean and readable with proper indentation (2 spaces). Easy to read, edit, and understand – perfect for configuration files.

Type Preservation

Preserves data types correctly – strings, numbers, booleans, null values, arrays, and objects are all converted accurately to YAML format.

File Upload Support

Got a TOON file? Just upload it. Works with .toon and .txt files. No need to copy-paste – just drag and drop or click upload.

Download YAML

One click to download your converted YAML as a .yaml file. Perfect for saving, sharing, or using in YAML-based configuration systems.

Nested Structures

Handles complex nested structures perfectly. Objects within objects, arrays within arrays, and mixed structures are all converted correctly.

How It Works

Paste or Upload TOON

Paste your TOON data into the left editor, or click "Upload" to load a file. You can also click "Sample" to see example TOON format. The tool accepts any valid TOON structure.

Automatic Conversion

As soon as you paste, the converter processes your TOON and displays the converted YAML on the right. Arrays become YAML lists, objects become key-value pairs, and values are properly formatted.

Copy or Download

Click "Copy" to copy the YAML to your clipboard, or "Download" to save it as a .yaml file. The YAML is properly formatted and ready to use in any YAML-compatible system.

When You'd Actually Use This

Configuration Files

Working with applications that use YAML config files? Convert TOON data to YAML for use in Docker Compose, Kubernetes, Ansible, or other YAML-based configuration systems.

CI/CD Pipelines

Many CI/CD systems like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or CircleCI use YAML for pipeline configuration. Convert TOON data to YAML for use in these systems.

Infrastructure as Code

Using tools like Terraform, Ansible, or CloudFormation? Convert TOON data to YAML for use in infrastructure configuration files and deployment scripts.

Data Processing

Processing data with tools that prefer YAML format? Convert TOON to YAML for use in data pipelines, ETL processes, or configuration-driven applications.

Common Questions

Is my TOON data stored?

No. All conversion happens in your browser using the @toon-format/toon library and js-yaml. Your data never leaves your computer.

What TOON formats are supported?

We support all valid TOON formats according to the TOON specification. Arrays, objects, tabular data, nested structures, primitives – everything that TOON supports.

Is the YAML valid?

Yes! The generated YAML is valid according to YAML 1.2 specification. It uses proper indentation, syntax, and structure that any YAML parser can handle.

How are data types handled?

Data types are preserved correctly. Strings, numbers, booleans, null values, arrays, and objects are all converted accurately to their YAML equivalents.

Can I convert YAML back to TOON?

Yes. First convert YAML to JSON using our YAML to JSON converter, then convert JSON to TOON using our JSON to TOON converter.

Does it work with large datasets?

Yes. Since everything happens in your browser, it depends on your device. Small files convert instantly. Very large files (10MB+) might take a few seconds, but they'll still work.
