How do I convert TSV to YAML?

Paste your TSV into the converter on this page and pick YAML as the output. Conversion happens instantly in your browser — nothing is uploaded. You can also call the free API: POST /api/v1/convert with { from: "tsv", to: "yaml", data }.

Is the TSV to YAML converter free?

Yes. The on-page TSV-to-YAML converter is free and runs locally in your browser. The developer API is also free during beta, with a per-call paid tier for bulk and large payloads.

Convert TSV to YAML

Paste your Tab-Separated Values (TSV) and convert it to YAML Ain't Markup Language (YAML) in one click. Runs entirely in your browser — no upload, no signup.

Input (TSV)

id	name	role	active
1	Ada Lovelace	Engineer	true
2	Alan Turing	Researcher	false

Output (YAML)

Convert this via the API (curl)

curl -X POST "https://data.wrapper-agency.com/api/v1/convert" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"from":"tsv","to":"yaml","data":"id\tname\trole\tactive\n1\tAda Lovelace\tEngineer\ttrue\n2\tAlan Turing\tResearcher\tfalse"}'

Free conversion API — no key during beta. POST { from, to, data }, get back the converted string. All conversion runs server-side; nothing is stored.

TSV vs YAML

TSV

Like CSV but tab-delimited — friendlier when your data contains commas.

YAML

An indentation-based, comment-friendly format used heavily for config (Kubernetes, CI, Docker Compose).

How to convert TSV to YAML

FormatForge parses your TSV into an in-memory data structure, then serializes it as YAML. Numbers, booleans, and null values are preserved, and nested structures are mapped to YAML's native shape.

Example

TSV in

id	name	role	active
1	Ada Lovelace	Engineer	true
2	Alan Turing	Researcher	false

YAML out

- id: 1
  name: Ada Lovelace
  role: Engineer
  active: true
- id: 2
  name: Alan Turing
  role: Researcher
  active: false

Convert TSV to YAML in code

Send the conversion to the free API and get the result back as a string:

curl -X POST "https://data.wrapper-agency.com/api/v1/convert" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"from":"tsv","to":"yaml","data":"...your TSV as a string..."}'

FAQ

Does converting TSV to YAML change my data?: No — the conversion is structural. Your values are preserved; only the serialization format changes.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?: The on-page converter runs locally in your browser. The API processes your payload server-side and stores nothing.
