24 alternatives to DataXLator™
Hi HN, I'm launching DataXLator, a utility I built to solve a problem many of us face: needing quick, reliable conversion between JSON and YAML for config files (Kubernetes, Ansible, etc.) without trusting a random server with sensitive data. The core feature is that all free conversions run 100% client-side in your browser using js-yaml and browser APIs. This guarantees privacy and speed. I've also implemented real-time error reporting to help debug syntax issues instantly. While the core tool is FREE, I'm launching with a Pro subscription to fund development of high-value, server-backed…

Hello HN, I'm excited to share a project I've been working on: A simple, fast way to process huge CSV and XLSX files directly in your browser and export them as clean JSON or XML Here's a few things that makes this converter different: - runs in the browser - all parsing and conversion is client side can handle data any size data - automatically detects delimiters, encodings, and data types as it parses - Live preview with column renaming, search/replace, and data cleanup - Export to JSON or XML — clean, structured output that can be used for API or Databases backstory: I built this…

Hi HN I built a small browser-based tool to convert YAML to JSON. Why: - I often work with Kubernetes manifests and APIs that require JSON - Most online tools upload data to servers, which isn’t ideal for configs What it does: - Converts YAML → JSON entirely client-side - Handles nested objects, arrays, and common YAML edge cases - No sign-up, no uploads Link: https://jsonviewertool.com/yaml-to-json Would love feedback from folks working with DevOps, APIs, or infra tooling.

JSONXMLKit▲13I built this because I was constantly switching tabs to format JSON or XML, or decode Base64 — and many of the tools I found were either bloated, sent my data to a server, or just didn’t support things like XPath or JSONPath. JSONXMLKit runs 100% in-browser, and includes: JSON and XML formatters Path search with JSONPath and XPath File-based Base64 encoder/decoder (images, PDFs, etc.) No login, no uploads. Just a set of quick, client-side tools I needed and decided to share. Feedback welcome!

JSONBason▲15I've been at it again, just sharing my simple JSON data inspection tool, love webdev and single page apps, this one took 4 days and was a lot of fun. The code is not obfuscated so you can inspect it and see how it works (very simple, server side is even more simple) Pretty much just do a POST of your JSON data from within your code and it will convert it into a basic table for instant search and sort. Made with love for the fun of it, no ads, no paid anything, it's totally free. Please only send in sanitized/test data only, this is meant to help make webdev a bit easier and more fun.…

Hey NN, I've create a tool that allows you to easily manipulate and transform json data. After looking round for something to allow me to perform json to json transformations I couldn't find any easy to use tools or libraries that offered this sort of functionality without requiring learning obscure syntax adding unnecessary complexity to my work or the alternative being manual changes often resulting in lots of errors or bugs. This is why I built JSON Transformer in the hope it will make these sort of tasks as simple as they should be. Would love to get your thoughts and feedback you have…
