# Convert YAML to JSON with the structure kept

> Give a YAML file URL or paste the YAML, and get the same data as JSON, ready for applications and data pipelines that read JSON.

Who it is for: Developers and data analysts who need YAML configuration or data in JSON-based tools.

## What you get

- **Structure kept**: Nested maps and lists come out as the same structure in JSON.
- **Two inputs**: A URL to a YAML file, or YAML text pasted directly.
- **Ready to use**: The JSON is saved as an output file you can download or read through the API.

## How it works

1. Put a YAML file URL in `yamlUrl` or paste the YAML into `yamlText`.
2. Start the run and download the output JSON from the key-value store.

## Use cases

- Converting configuration files for a JSON-only tool.
- Turning YAML data into JSON inside an automated workflow.
