Does Pyhocon support conversion of Python dicts or raw JSON to HOCON?

[enlightenalpha]

Hello all.

I have a project where I'm pulling Hadoop cluster configs into a dict then dumping as a JSON file that will be used to apply to new clusters post deployment. I need to parse / convert this JSON to HOCON in order to take advantage of HOCON's support of includes - for customer specific property substitution.

Pyhocon's module is fails to parse the following valid JSON:

"value": "{"critical":"83.34","warning":"99.99"}"

In pretty-form this looks like:

value: "{"critical":"83.34", "warning":"99.99"}"

Now, I could be mistaking the purpose of the pyhocon module. Does it support converting raw JSON or Python dicts to HOCON? Online lints don't seem to have a problem with my JSON so I would assume that automatically makes it valid HOCON.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.
