yaml-to-json

Convert a YAML file to JSON format. Uses safe parsing (no arbitrary code execution). Produces pretty-printed JSON with 2-space indentation.

Endpoint

POST /v1/convert/yaml-to-json

Content-Type: multipart/form-data

Accepted input: .yaml or .yml files (UTF-8 encoded)

Output format: .json (application/json)

Authentication

Requires either a private API key or a JWT token from a public key.

X-API-Key: sk_live_your_private_key

Or:

Authorization: Bearer <jwt_token>

Request Parameters

Conversion Rules

Direct mapping from YAML to JSON:

database:
  host: localhost
  port: 5432
features:
- auth
- logging
enabled: true

Becomes:

{
  "database": {
    "host": "localhost",
    "port": 5432
  },
  "features": ["auth", "logging"],
  "enabled": true
}

• Uses safe parsing -- no arbitrary Python object construction from YAML tags
• YAML types are mapped naturally: strings, numbers, booleans, nulls, arrays, objects
• Output is 2-space indented with unicode preserved

Code Examples

Python

import requests

with open("config.yaml", "rb") as f:
    response = requests.post(
        "https://api.enconvert.com/v1/convert/yaml-to-json",
        headers={"X-API-Key": "sk_live_your_private_key"},
        files={"file": ("config.yaml", f, "application/x-yaml")}
    )

with open("config.json", "wb") as out:
    out.write(response.content)

Node.js

const form = new FormData();
form.append("file", fs.createReadStream("config.yaml"));

const response = await fetch("https://api.enconvert.com/v1/convert/yaml-to-json", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: { "X-API-Key": "sk_live_your_private_key" },
    body: form
});

const json = await response.json();

PHP

$ch = curl_init("https://api.enconvert.com/v1/convert/yaml-to-json");
curl_setopt_array($ch, [
    CURLOPT_POST => true,
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => ["X-API-Key: sk_live_your_private_key"],
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => ["file" => new CURLFile("config.yaml")]
]);
$json = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

Go

body := &bytes.Buffer{}
writer := multipart.NewWriter(body)
part, _ := writer.CreateFormFile("file", "config.yaml")
file, _ := os.Open("config.yaml")
io.Copy(part, file)
writer.Close()

req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", "https://api.enconvert.com/v1/convert/yaml-to-json", body)
req.Header.Set("Content-Type", writer.FormDataContentType())
req.Header.Set("X-API-Key", "sk_live_your_private_key")
resp, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
