Paste YAML — a CI workflow, Kubernetes manifest, docker-compose file, or app config — and find out immediately whether it parses. Errors report the exact line and column, which matters because most YAML failures are invisible indentation problems.
Valid input gets a summary (document count, each document's shape and top-level keys) plus the fully parsed result as JSON, so you can confirm the file means what you think it means.
Common uses
- Check a GitHub Actions or GitLab CI file before pushing
- Find the indentation error a deploy tool reported cryptically
- Verify a multi-document YAML stream splits where you expect
Example
Input
name: deploy replicas: 3
Output
✓ Valid YAML — 1 document · {"name": "deploy", "replicas": 3}Limitations
- Validates YAML syntax, not schemas — a parseable Kubernetes manifest can still be semantically wrong
