// mapstructure-to-hcl2 fills the gaps between hcl2 and mapstructure for Packer
//
// By generating a struct that the HCL2 ecosystem understands making use of
// mapstructure tags.
//
// Packer heavily uses the mapstructure decoding library to load/parse user
// config files. Packer now needs to move to HCL2.
//
// Here are a few differences/gaps betweens hcl2 and mapstructure:
//
// * in HCL2 all basic struct fields (string/int/struct) that are not pointers
// are required ( must be set ). In mapstructure everything is optional.
//
// * mapstructure allows to 'squash' fields
// (ex: Field CommonStructType `mapstructure:",squash"`) this allows to
// decorate structs and reuse configuration code. HCL2 parsing libs don't have
// anything similar.
//
// mapstructure-to-hcl2 will parse Packer's config files and generate the HCL2
// compliant code that will allow to not change any of the current builders in
// order to move to HCL2 to softly move to HCL2.
