Convert package.json to YAML

While npm, Yarn, and pnpm all use JSON for package manifests, some tooling in the JavaScript ecosystem accepts YAML as an alternative — pnpm workspace configs, certain Babel and ESLint integrations, and documentation generators. Converting a package.json to YAML manually means retyping every key and hoping the indentation is correct.

This tool converts package.json directly to YAML, keeping keys in their conventional order: name, version, description, main, scripts, dependencies, devDependencies. Most online converters sort these alphabetically — meaning dependencies ends up before description, and scripts moves to the bottom — which confuses anyone used to reading the standard npm layout.

Paste your package.json, click Convert, and get clean YAML with the exact same field sequence you started with. The conversion is 100% client-side using js-yaml, so no data is uploaded.
