Description

What would you like Renovate to be able to do?

Support Terraform's JSON syntax: https://www.terraform.io/docs/language/syntax/json.html

If you have any ideas on how this should be implemented, please tell us here.

Ideally within the same manager.

Would need to be driven by someone who has this requirement, so far I'm not aware of anyone requesting it.

Is this a feature you are interested in implementing yourself?

No

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing Terraform manager in Renovate to understand how it parses .tf files, then extend it to support .tf.json files using the same logic.
