* Boolean values: `true`, `false`, `on`, `off`, `yes`, `no`. * Boolean values: `true`, `false`, `on`, `off`, `yes`, `no`.
* Arrays can be made by wrapping it in `[]`. Example: * Arrays can be made by wrapping it in `[]`. Example:
`["foo", "bar", 42]`. `["foo", "bar", 42]`. Arrays can contain primitives
and other arrays, but cannot contain objects. Objects must
use the block syntax shown below.
* Objects (also known as maps) can be made with '{}'. Example: Objects and nested objects are created using the structure shown below:
'{ foo = "bar" }'
In addition to these basics, the syntax supports hierarchies of
sections. These sections are actually syntactic sugar over lists of
maps, but visually end up looking much better from a configuration
standpoint. For example, these are nearly equivalent:
``` ```
variable "ami" { variable "ami" {
description = "the AMI to use" description = "the AMI to use"
} }
# is equal to:
variable = [{
"ami": {
"description": "the AMI to use",
}
}]
``` ```
