Is Clash compatible with sing-box?

Reuse the node protocols and express the configuration as mihomo YAML.

sing-box uses JSON configurations, while Clash uses mihomo YAML. Move the nodes, routing intent, and DNS behavior you need into a mihomo YAML configuration.

Which sing-box nodes can be reused?

When their parameters match, common sing-box protocols available in Clash include:

• VLESS;
• Trojan;
• Shadowsocks;
• Hysteria2;
• TUIC;
• AnyTLS;
• WireGuard;
• SSH.

See the complete protocol list.

Fastest migration path

1. Prefer a mihomo / Clash subscription from the provider.
2. If only an ss://, vless://, or similar share link is available, convert it to mihomo YAML first or recreate the node from its parameters in Clash.
3. Use a standalone node link as a parameter source for YAML or manual entry.
4. Rebuild routing and DNS rules that only exist in the sing-box JSON.

What to configure during migration

• express the sing-box JSON structure as mihomo YAML;
• map the required route, dns, inbounds, and outbounds behavior;
• choose corresponding stable Clash capabilities for experimental options;
• set interface and Apple system preferences in Clash.

The same server works directly when its protocol, transport, TLS, authentication, and parameter combination is supported by Clash.
