zig-clap is a simple and easy-to-use command line argument parsing library for Zig. It supports short and long arguments, chained flags, multiple value-passing styles, and help message generation and parsing.
Use cases
- parse command line arguments in a zig program
- generate help messages from parameter specifications
- handle short and long cli flags with values
- support chained flags like -abc in a cli tool
- parse help text back into parameter specifications
When to choose
- you are writing a command line tool in Zig and need argument parsing
- you want automatic help message generation from parameter specs
- you need flexible value-passing syntaxes like -a=100 or -a100
When to avoid
- your project is not written in Zig
- you need declarative argument parsing with code generation for other languages
