# Syntax
|
|
|
|
The majority of the OpenTofu language documentation focuses on the practical
|
|
uses of the language and the specific constructs it uses. The pages in this
|
|
section offer a more abstract view of the OpenTofu language.
|
|
|
|
- [Configuration Syntax](../../language/syntax/configuration.mdx) describes the native
|
|
grammar of the OpenTofu language.
|
|
- [JSON Configuration Syntax](../../language/syntax/json.mdx) documents
|
|
how to represent OpenTofu language constructs in the pure JSON variant of the
|
|
OpenTofu language. OpenTofu's JSON syntax is unfriendly to humans, but can
|
|
be very useful when generating infrastructure as code with other systems that
|
|
don't have a readily available HCL library.
|
|
- [Style Conventions](../../language/syntax/style.mdx) documents some commonly
|
|
accepted formatting guidelines for OpenTofu code. These conventions can be
|
|
enforced automatically with [`tofu fmt`](../../cli/commands/fmt.mdx).
