    "description": "HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language) is a structured configuration\nlanguage designed to be both human-readable and machine-parseable. It\nis the primary language for Terraform infrastructure definitions,\nPacker build templates, Vault policies, and Nomad job specs.\n\nHCL supports expressions, loops (for_each, count, dynamic blocks),\nfunctions, locals, and module composition. Its type system supports\nstrings, numbers, booleans, lists, maps, and objects. The HCL2 version\nintroduced more powerful expression semantics. Terraform-specific HCL\nadds provider, resource, data, and output blocks that drive\ninfrastructure-as-code workflows across AWS, GCP, Azure, and hundreds\nof other providers via the Terraform Registry.\n"
