# What is HCL?
HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language) is a structured configuration language designed to be easy for people to read and write. Terraform uses HCL in `.tf` files to describe infrastructure through blocks, arguments, and expressions. Terraform configurations are declarative: they describe the desired infrastructure state rather than a sequence of commands to create it.
