## What it is
A Node.js command-line tool that generates polished résumés and CVs in multiple formats (HTML, Markdown, LaTeX, MS Word, PDF, plain text, JSON, XML, YAML) from a single JSON or YAML source. It also analyzes resumes for keyword density and gaps, converts between FRESH and JSON Resume formats, and validates against both schemas.

## Use cases
- generate a resume in pdf and word from one source
- convert my resume between FRESH and JSON Resume formats
- validate a resume against the JSON Resume schema
- analyze my resume for keyword density and employment gaps
- author a CV in JSON and export to HTML and LaTeX
- build a versioned resume stored in git

## When to choose
- you want a single-source-of-truth resume exported to many formats
- you prefer authoring resumes as JSON/YAML in a text editor
- you need local-only, private resume generation without web services
- you want automated resume analysis for keywords and gaps

## When to avoid
- you want a graphical drag-and-drop resume builder
- you need collaborative or cloud-hosted resume editing
- you require actively maintained tooling - the latest release dates to 2022
- you need PDF output but cannot install an external PDF engine like wkhtmltopdf
