About YAML Formatter
Validate and format YAML files with consistent indentation. YAML Formatter runs entirely in your browser — no installation, no uploads, and no data ever leaves your device.
Common use cases: validate kubernetes manifests before applying; format github actions workflow files; debug ci/cd pipeline yaml configuration. Whether you are debugging, prototyping, or building production code, having a fast and private tool for this task saves time compared to writing one-off scripts or using an online tool that logs your data.
Like every tool in Catalyst, this one is free forever, requires no login, and is safe to use with confidential data. All processing happens client-side via native browser APIs.
