Properties/YAML Converter
Convert between Java .properties files and YAML format for Spring Boot and other platforms.
Format Notes:
- • Properties: key=value or key:value format, dotted keys for nesting
- • YAML: Indentation-based hierarchy, human-readable
- • Comments start with # in both formats
Properties vs YAML - Technical Details
Java .properties files use dotted keys (server.port=8080), while YAML uses indented hierarchy. YAML is more readable for complex configs but properties are simpler for flat configs.
Command-line Alternative
# Properties\nserver.port=8080\nserver.host=localhost\n\n# YAML equivalent\nserver:\n port: 8080\n host: localhost
