## Historique du projet et usages

hcl2json is a small Go command-line converter for turning HashiCorp Configuration Language version 2 input into JSON. Its niche is not general Terraform evaluation; it is a bridge for scripts and non-Go programs that need to inspect HCL-shaped configuration without embedding a full HCL-aware application.

### Historique du projet

The repository was created in July 2019 and framed itself around HCL2 conversion at a time when HCL was becoming the shared configuration substrate for Terraform and other HashiCorp-style tools. The README says the tool was created because there were few direct schemaless converters, while later HashiCorp HCL tooling such as hcldec offered a more specification-driven path.

### Historique d'adoption

Adoption stayed in the small-utility lane: Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, prebuilt GitHub release binaries, Docker images, and tool-version-manager installs made it easy to drop into shell pipelines. The project matters most where HCL is data to inspect or transform rather than configuration to execute.

### Modes d'utilisation

Typical use is piping an HCL file or stdin through hcl2json and redirecting JSON output for downstream tools. The README also documents a simplify mode and an HCL pack-format mode, while warning that some HCL constructs cannot be converted with exact semantic equivalence.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

Package maintainers care about hcl2json because it is a single-purpose, Go-built CLI with no runtime service, no credentials, and obvious test fixtures: feed HCL in, compare JSON out. It fills the awkward gap between plain text processing and linking a whole HCL application stack.

### Chronologie

- 2019: GitHub repository created.
- 2019: v0.0.1 release published.
- 2020: 0.3.x releases broadened the early packaged surface.
- 2021: v0.3.2 release published.

### Related projects

- HashiCorp HCL provides the underlying configuration language and Go packages.
- Terraform is the most common class of HCL input mentioned by the project.
- hcldec is the upstream HCL command-line alternative for spec-guided decoding.
