json2hcl
A command-line tool for converting JSON to HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) and vice versa.
What is json2hcl?
json2hcl is a command-line utility that converts JSON to HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) and HCL to JSON. It solves the problem of transitioning between machine-readable JSON configurations and human-friendly HCL formats, particularly useful for infrastructure-as-code workflows. The tool simplifies maintaining and editing configurations by providing bidirectional conversion capabilities.
Developers and DevOps engineers working with HashiCorp tools like Terraform who need to convert or maintain configurations in both JSON and HCL formats.
It offers a straightforward, scriptable solution for format conversion without requiring custom parsing logic, leveraging HashiCorp's own libraries for reliable transformations. The tool fills a gap where native conversion utilities from HashiCorp were not available.
