TOML to YAML

Convert TOML to YAML. Paste TOML on the left; the YAML output builds on the right as you type.

[package]
name = "vayce"
version = "1.0"

[[servers]]
host = "a.example.com"

[[servers]]
host = "b.example.com"

becomes

package:
  name: vayce
  version: "1.0"
servers:
  - host: a.example.com
  - host: b.example.com

[package] becomes a nested mapping under package. The two [[servers]] blocks, TOML’s array-of-tables syntax, become a YAML sequence with one mapping per block, in the order they appear in the source.

Quoting choices

The YAML serializer quotes version: "1.0" because an unquoted 1.0 would read as a YAML float, losing the distinction TOML made by storing it as a string. Values TOML typed as real numbers, like port = 8080, come out unquoted, since there’s no ambiguity there.

Migrating from Rust or Python configs

TOML to YAML shows up most when a project’s Cargo.toml, pyproject.toml, or config.toml needs to feed a CI pipeline or a tool that reads YAML, GitHub Actions and many Kubernetes-adjacent tools among them. Paste the whole file; TOML comments are dropped during parsing, the same limit YAML to TOML has in the other direction.

After the conversion

If the YAML needs reformatting, comment annotations, or a specific indentation, the YAML formatter picks up from here without needing the original TOML again.

Frequently Asked Questions

A [table] header becomes a nested mapping under that key, with its fields indented underneath, matching how TOML's dotted table names nest in the source.

It becomes a YAML sequence, one dash-prefixed mapping per [[servers]] block, in the order the blocks appear.

Yes. TOML's parser returns typed values, so an integer stays an unquoted number in the YAML and a datetime is written out as an ISO 8601 string.

The input pane reports the line and column TOML's parser stopped at. A duplicate key in the same table and a table redefined after it was already used are the most common causes.

No. Comments are discarded while TOML is parsed; if you need the same notes in the YAML, they'd need to be added back with # manually.
