...HCL has both a native syntax, intended to be pleasant to read and write for humans, and a JSON-based variant that is easier for machines to generate and parse. It includes an expression syntax that allows basic inline computation and, with support from the calling application, the use of variables and functions for more dynamic configuration languages. HCL provides a set of constructs that can be used by a calling application to construct a configuration language. The application defines which attribute names and nested block types are expected, and HCL parses the configuration file, verifies that it conforms to the expected structure, and returns high-level objects that the application can use for further processing.

TySON (TypeScript Object Notation) is a subset of TypeScript, chosen to be useful as an embeddable configuration language that generates JSON. You can think of TySON as JSON + comments + types + basic logic using TypeScript syntax. TySON files use the .tson extension. The goal is to make it possible for all major programming languages to read configurations written in TypeScript using native libraries. That is, a go program should be able to read TySON using a go library, a rust program should be able to read TySON using a rust library, and so on. ...
