XML to YAML Converter

XML and YAML do not have identical data models. Namespace declarations, mixed content and ordering can require manual review after conversion.

Indentation

ReadyAttributes use @attributes, text may use #text, and repeated sibling names become arrays.

XML structure & handoff review

Parse the document you will actually use

Check structure, namespaces, repeated records, mixed content and remote-looking references. Converter pages review generated XML output when that is the handoff artifact.

Browser DOM parsing checks well-formedness and structure. It is not an XSD/DTD/business-rule validator, sanitizer or permission to trust remote resources; this review does not fetch external schemas or entities.

XML→YAML structure & scalar contract

Review XML structure before emitting YAML. Track attributes, namespaces and mixed content, then pair the converter indentation with an explicit attribute/scalar policy so YAML remains readable without pretending XML semantics are identical.

YAML mapping issue	Observed	Policy	Review

YAML can express mappings and sequences cleanly, but XML namespaces, attributes and mixed text still require an explicit mapping convention.

What this XML step proves

YAML conversion passes through an explicit XML object model.

What to review before handoff

Review attributes, repeated siblings, namespaces and mixed content because XML order/namespace semantics may not round-trip through YAML.
