HCL to JSON util?

[Russell Roy]

Does anyone have an HCL to JSON utility?

[Mitchell Hashimoto]

Russell,

There isn't one currently, but this shouldn't be too hard to build
(for the endeavoring fellow). Using this lib:
https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl

Should be able to decode into `interface{}` and then just re-encode
with JSON using built-in Go.

That might work.

Best,
Mitchell

Hey there, you can use the HCL printer (and `terraform fmt`) to do this now. Marius Kleidl and I took the liberty of wrapping a few of HashiCorp's libraries and release `json2hcl` (and hcl2json via `-reverse`) binaries for this. In the off chance this is still useful: https://github.com/kvz/json2hcl

i cannot convert a tf to json and back again .. ( json2hcl -revers < a.tf | json2hcl > b.tf )

a.tf ;

"terraform" = {

  "backend" "local" {

    "key" = "x.tfstate"

  }

}

 

-- result b.tf

"terraform" = {

  "backend" = {

    "local" = {

      "key" = "x.tfstate"

    }

  }

}

once back as b.tf iIT IS NOT valid syntax
