HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL)
The description below is taken from the HCL git repository’s README:
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 support within Murex is pretty mature however it is not considered a primitive. Which means, while it is a recommended builtin which you should expect in most deployments of Murex, it’s still an optional package and thus may not be present in some edge cases. This is because it relies on external source packages for the shell to compile.

}

}
}
}
