NetArgumentParser is a cross-platform, free and open source library for parsing command-line options, arguments and subcommands. This library contains the main features of popular argument parsers such as argparse, as well as many of its own.
NetArgumentParser supports many frameworks, so you can use it in most of your projects. Moreover, you can find clear examples of using this library here.
This library supports the following main features:
- Parse short-named options (such as
-v). - Parse long-named options (such as
--versionor-version). - Parse windows-based options (such as
/vor/version). - Parse compound options (such as
-lah). - Parse nested subcommands (such as
app subcommand subsubcommand). - Extract extra arguments.
- Provide a lot of default option types.
- Support custom options and converters.
- Configure command-line help generation and output stream.
Many other features with examples you can find in documentation.
