Does my YAML data leave my device?

No. All parsing and comparison happens entirely in your browser — no server, no upload, no account required. Your Kubernetes manifests, Helm values, and secrets never leave your device.

What makes this tool Kubernetes and Helm aware?

When "Key docs by kind+name" is enabled, multi-document YAML streams (separated by ---) are matched by their kind + metadata.name pair. A Deployment named "api" in the left side is always compared against the Deployment named "api" in the right side, even if document order changes — exactly how helm diff upgrade and kubectl diff work.

Does it support YAML anchors and aliases?

Yes. js-yaml automatically expands anchors (&anchor) and aliases (*alias) before comparing, so you see fully-resolved values rather than symbolic tokens. This is important for Helm values files that use anchors for DRY configuration.

What does the base64 auto-decode option do?

When enabled, values inside ConfigMap and Secret .data fields are decoded from base64 before display. This lets you see the actual content — connection strings, certificates, config files — rather than the encoded blob. Useful when reviewing changes in Sealed Secrets or Helm-generated Secrets.

What is the kubectl patch output?

After comparing, click "Copy as kubectl patch" to copy a JSON Merge Patch of the changed fields. Apply it with kubectl patch -f --type=merge, or use it as a Kustomize strategic merge patch. Removed keys are set to null per RFC 7396.

YAML 语义比较 — Helm 与 Kubernetes 专用

Key docs by kind+name Decode base64 in ConfigMap/Secret

Semantic diff Added Removed Changed

Paste YAML above and click Compare to see the semantic diff…

How to use

Paste your original YAML — Helm values.yaml, K8s manifests, or any multi-document stream — into Before, and the updated version into After.
Enable Key docs by kind+name for Kubernetes streams — resources are matched by kind/metadata.name rather than by position, so reordered documents still diff correctly.
Click Compare to see the semantic diff. Use Copy as kubectl patch to export a JSON Merge Patch you can apply with kubectl patch.
