Commander is a small Swift framework for composing command line interfaces in a type-safe, composable way. It handles argument parsing, conversion, option descriptors, and auto-generated help for Swift CLI tools.
Use cases
- build a CLI tool in Swift
- parse command line arguments with type safety
- create grouped subcommands like git-style CLIs
- auto-generate help text from argument descriptions
- define options with default values for a command
When to choose
- you are writing a command line tool in Swift
- you want composable, type-safe argument handling
- you need grouped subcommands and auto-generated help
When to avoid
- you need a Swift argument parser with active maintenance and newer Swift features
- your project is not in Swift
- you need advanced parsing features like shell completion generation
