How to use this office tool

  1. Choose a YAML or YML document.
  2. Select an output format and preview-row limit.
  3. Convert the data, verify the flattened columns, and download the new file.

What this tool does

The converter parses YAML in your browser, flattens nested object keys with dot notation, and turns arrays into tabular rows. Deeply nested collections are preserved as JSON text.

YAML document → flattened records → selected tabular format

For the cleanest columns, use an array of objects with consistent keys at the YAML root.

Supported formats

Files are processed locally. XLSX and XLS workbooks are read with SheetJS; CSV and TSV files are parsed with delimiter-aware handling. Advanced Excel features may not be preserved in generated files.

Tips for better results

  • Work from a backup when the source workbook is important.
  • Keep identifiers such as ZIP codes and account codes stored as text.
  • Review the bounded preview and downloaded result before replacing any business workflow.

FAQ

What YAML structure converts best to spreadsheet rows?

A root-level array of similarly shaped objects produces the most consistent column layout.

How are nested YAML objects represented?

Nested object keys are flattened with dot notation, while nested arrays are stored as compact JSON text.

Can YAML anchors and aliases be converted?

Common YAML syntax supported by the included parser can be read, but complex custom schemas should be checked after conversion.

Will dates and long identifiers remain unchanged?

YAML parsing can infer scalar types. Quote identifiers and date-like values when their exact text must be preserved.

What happens when the YAML root is a single object?

The object becomes one spreadsheet row unless it contains a clear array of records.
