  Description     : Go implementation of HashiCorp Configuration Language (version 2)

 HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language) is a configuration language built by
 HashiCorp. The goal of HCL is to build a structured configuration language that
 is both human and machine friendly for use with command-line tools, but
 specifically targeted towards DevOps tools, servers, etc.

 HCL is also fully JSON compatible. That is, JSON can be used as completely
 valid input to a system expecting HCL. This helps makes systems interoperable
 with other systems.

 HCL is heavily inspired by libucl, nginx configuration, and others similar.

 This package contains the source.


This is a requirement to update crowdsec:

There's an existing golang-github-hashicorp-hcl package, kind of stalled
at version 1.0.0, which is depended on by close to 100 packages. It
seems prudent to introduce a -v2 package for hashicorp/hcl/v2, leaving it
up to reverse dependencies to switch to the new version if and when they
so desire.
