Documentation

As simple as...

Parse your application's Command Line Arguments into a declarative POCO, in one line.

Arguments are defined as declarative POCOs using Attributes.

var arguments = Cli.Parse<CliArguments>(args); if (arguments.Option) { // ... };

public class CliArguments : BaseCliArguments { public CliArguments() : base("MyApplication") { } [Option(ShortName: 'o', LongName: "option-1")] public bool Option { get; set; } }

Commands have a dedicated API:

Cli.Execute<CliCommands>(args);
