YAML to TSV Notes

A top-level sequence of mappings is read as a table — each mapping becomes one row.
Nested mappings are flattened into dotted column names, e.g. address.city, address.zip.
Block scalars (|, >) are read as multi-line text.
Both .yaml and .yml files are accepted; UTF-8 (with or without BOM) is detected automatically.
Not supported: anchors and aliases (& / *), tags (!!) and multi-document files (---).

Check the preview table, then adjust the source options and the output options.
Click Convert — the TSV output is written in seconds. Save the session if you want to run it again from the command line.
