Convert yaml to json using javascript [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can solve that with a simple javascript script running on node.

1. install node.js
2. install the js-yaml package: npm install js-yaml -g

Then save this script into a file, and run it with node.js:

var inputfile = 'input.yml',
    outputfile = 'output.json',
    yaml = require('js-yaml'),
    fs = require('fs'),
    obj = yaml.load(fs.readFileSync(inputfile, {encoding: 'utf-8'}));
// this code if you want to save
fs.writeFileSync(outputfile, JSON.stringify(obj, null, 2));

Answer 2

There is—unfortunately—nothing in the standard library in JavaScript that will do this for you.

It's possible to build your own, but it's a lot of work. You would have to build a parser and there are likely a lot of edge cases that you would have to solve for. It might be worth considering using a third-party module.
