How to Convert CSV to YAML Online?

Transform your CSV data into a human-readable YAML representation using our online converter. YAML is a popular format for configuration files and data serialization due to its readability.

1. Upload or Paste Your CSV Data

Upload your CSV file or paste your CSV data into the provided input area. The converter will automatically detect the delimiter (usually a comma) used in your CSV file.

2. Customize Your YAML Output (Optional)

Depending on the converter's features, you might be able to customize the generated YAML:

  • Root Element: Choose whether the YAML should represent a single object or an array of objects. If an array of objects, each row in the CSV will become a separate object in the array. If a single object, you might need to specify a key for each column.
  • Key Names: The converter will likely use the column headers as keys in the YAML. You might be able to customize how these keys are named (e.g., converting to snake_case or camelCase).
  • Data Types: The converter will attempt to infer the data types (string, number, boolean) but might need options for handling special cases.

3. Generate and Preview the YAML

The converter will generate the YAML representation of your CSV data. A preview area will allow you to review the YAML before downloading or copying.

4. Download or Copy the YAML Data

The generated YAML data can be downloaded as a .yaml or .yml file, or copied to your clipboard for pasting into your configuration files or applications.

What is CSV?

CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a simple file format used to store tabular data, such as a spreadsheet or database. Each line of the file is a data record, with each field separated by commas.

What is YAML?

YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a human-readable data serialization language. It's often used for configuration files and data exchange because of its clear and concise syntax. A simple example:

name: John Doe
age: 30
city: New York

This converter will transform your tabular CSV data into a YAML structure, making it easy to use in applications or systems that utilize YAML configuration. The specific YAML structure will depend on your chosen settings (e.g., single object vs. array of objects).
