# Syntax
|
|
|
|
The majority of the OpenTF 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 OpenTF language.
|
|
|
|
- [Configuration Syntax](/opentf/language/syntax/configuration) describes the native
|
|
grammar of the OpenTF language.
|
|
- [JSON Configuration Syntax](/opentf/language/syntax/json) documents
|
|
how to represent OpenTF language constructs in the pure JSON variant of the
|
|
OpenTF language. OpenTF'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](/opentf/language/syntax/style) documents some commonly
|
|
accepted formatting guidelines for OpenTF code. These conventions can be
|
|
enforced automatically with [`opentf fmt`](/opentf/cli/commands/fmt).
