JSON to HCL transpiler #9015

Closed azr closed 4 years ago

azr commented 4 years ago

It's all in the title; now that we have HCL2 variables I think we could write a first beta version of the JSON files to HCL2 files transpiler. It would be nice to have the validate command working for Packer HCL2 first though (issue: #8538).

Also there could be some minor turbulences doing this as I expect there is a lot of already existing buildfiles in the universe and edge cases will occur.

I have the impression that passing through #9282 might provide different real cases of using Packer as the initial source of test cases.
