.tf.json format support

[yuriy-yarosh]

What problem are you facing?

I want to use upbound/provider-terraform with the .tf.json format out of cdktf.

How could Official Terraform Provider help solve your problem?

Basically, I want to be able to rename the default main.tf module filename over here, to main.tf.json.

So, I could pass the infline tf.json files as is, without relying on go-getter and module repo's.

This seems like it would be as simple as adding the ".json" suffix to the tfMain constant if the Workspace format attribute is set to JSON.

That would mean the inline manifest would be expected to be in JSON format instead of YAML.

Correction - we need to add format at the Workspace level instead of/in addition to the varFiles level

to be in JSON format instead of YAML

@bobh66 Maybe, instead of HCL ?

instead of/in addition to the varFiles level

Nah, it has nothing to do with varFiles .
Only if you want to keep the existing CRD's schema the same.
It's possible to impl a wacky rule "if we're passing a .tf.json - treat it as a main.tf replacement" etc.

Yes, HCL - sorry.

I'd prefer to add the format attribute to the Workspace, rather than try to detect JSON vs HCL.

I'm hoping to push a PR for this in a day or two.
