## What it is
Qoa is a lightweight, zero-dependency JavaScript library for building interactive command-line prompts. It provides seven configurable console interfaces including text input, confirmation, password/secret, keypress, quiz, and navigable multiple-choice menus.

## Use cases
- ask for user input in a cli script
- prompt for a password with hidden input
- build an interactive menu in the terminal
- create a quiz-style command line prompt
- chain a series of prompts sequentially
- add a confirmation prompt to a cli tool

## When to choose
- you need a tiny, zero-dependency prompt library for Node.js
- you want simple async/await-based interactive prompts
- you need secure/hidden input or navigable menus in a CLI

## When to avoid
- you need highly complex prompt flows with validation and theming
- you are not building a Node.js command-line application

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: cli, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: interactive-prompts, zero-dependencies, terminal-input, password-prompt, menu-navigation, command-line, nodejs
