Markdown to YAML Converter [2025]

Block vs Flow Style

Choose between block style (using indentation for structure) or flow style (using brackets and commas) for your YAML output. Block style is more readable for humans, while flow style creates more compact output.

Data Type Preservation

The converter automatically detects and preserves data types from your Markdown table: numbers remain numeric, boolean values (true/false) are properly typed, and empty or "null" cells are converted to YAML null values.

Array Handling

Control whether your table rows are wrapped in an array or exported as individual objects. This flexibility allows you to generate exactly the YAML structure your application requires.

How are data types handled in the conversion?

The converter intelligently detects common data types: numbers are converted to numeric values, "true" and "false" become boolean values, and empty or "null" cells become YAML null values. This ensures your YAML data maintains proper types for applications that consume it.

What's the difference between block and flow style?

Block style YAML uses indentation to represent structure and is typically more readable:

item: title: Product price: 29.99

item: {title: Product, price: 29.99}

Is my data secure?

Yes, all conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your Markdown data is never sent to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security of your information.

Can I control the YAML structure?

Yes, you can choose to output your data as an array of objects (with the "Include Array Wrapper" option) or as individual objects. You can also customize indentation size and style to match your project requirements.
