LanguageProject Introduction
Summary
HCL is the configuration language created by HashiCorp. It is used across HashiCorp's product suite and can be embedded in other projects as a general-purpose configuration format.
Problem Solved
Traditional configuration formats (like YAML or JSON) can become complex and less readable for large, hierarchical configurations, and often lack features like templating or variables. HCL addresses this by providing a dedicated language with enhanced features for configuration.
Core Features
Human-friendly Syntax
Provides a syntax designed for human readability and editability, while remaining machine-parseable.
Rich Language Features
Supports various features like variables, functions, templates, and modules for powerful configuration management.
Parser and Evaluator
Includes robust parsing and evaluation libraries for programmatic use.
