About the YAML Formatter

YAML is common in Docker Compose, CI pipelines, Ansible, and Kubernetes manifests. This formatter parses and pretty-prints YAML in your browser so indentation mistakes show up before deploy.

How to use

  1. Paste your YAML.
  2. Click Format to rewrite it cleanly, or Validate only to check syntax.
  3. Copy the output back into your repo.

Common mistakes

  • Tabs instead of spaces
  • Missing space after :
  • Incorrect nesting under lists
