How YAML-to-XML conversion works

This converter parses your YAML using the same js-yaml parser used elsewhere on the site, then serializes the resulting JavaScript object tree to XML. Object keys become element names, arrays get wrapped in their parent element with <item> children, and all values are properly XML-escaped. Key characters illegal in XML tag names are replaced with underscores.

For other YAML conversions, see YAML to JSON or YAML to TOML. To go the other direction, use XML to JSON.
