Hashicorp Configuration Language

• (https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl)

Examples

  some_value "other_value" {
    key = "value"
  }

will create a hash which looks like:

{"some_value" => {"other_value" => {"key" => "value"}}}

require 'hcl'
require 'json'

contents = HCLParser.new.parse(File.read("file_to_parse.hcl"))
puts JSON.dump(contents)

TODO

• Properly handle nested multi-line comments
• Properly handle floating point values
• Create a HCL class as an to load/dump/parse HCL files
• Write tests for the lexer
• Write tests for the parser
