Description
https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/4974#issuecomment-173175333
https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl
see https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/3558
Would bring in JSON as a config format as well.
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.
Could be useful for folks using Spring Cloud Consul and other hashicorp tools (vault, etc...).

Start with the linked Spring Boot discussion and issue #3558, then inspect this repository's existing configuration-format integration points. Determine how HCL and its JSON-compatible input should work with Spring Cloud Consul and what tests cover the behavior; done means the requested format is supported without breaking existing configuration handling.
