Convert .tfvars to .tfvars.json and vice versa

priya.shinde · January 12, 2021, 2:59pm

Hi Team,
I want to convert the .tfvars file to .tfvars.json and vice versa.
Is there any library available with Hashicorp to achieve this or any support for implementing this conversion using python or golang?

Thanks,
Priya
