Question 1

How do I convert YAML to a Python dictionary?

Accepted Answer

Paste your YAML into the input, choose 'Python dict' as the output style and click Convert. The tool parses the YAML and produces valid Python literal syntax using True, False and None. In real Python you can also use yaml.safe_load(string) at runtime.

Question 2

What output styles are supported?

Accepted Answer

Three styles: a plain Python dict (great for seeding data), a @dataclass definition with type hints, and a Pydantic BaseModel with field type annotations. The parser handles nested mappings, sequences (lists), null, bool, int, float and quoted strings.

Question 3

How are YAML scalars typed?

Accepted Answer

YAML null/~/ becomes None, true/false (and yes/no/on/off) become True/False, integers become int, decimals become float, and everything else becomes str. Quoted strings are always preserved as str.

Question 4

Is my YAML uploaded anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. All parsing and code generation happen entirely in your browser. Your YAML never leaves your device.
