FLAP
A pure Fortran 2003+ library for building elegant command-line interfaces, inspired by Python's argparse.
What is FLAP?
FLAP is a Fortran command-line argument parser library that provides Python argparse-like functionality for Fortran applications. It allows developers to define, parse, and manage command-line arguments with support for various argument types, groups, subcommands, and automatic documentation generation. The library solves the problem of building user-friendly and feature-rich CLIs in Fortran, which traditionally lacked such tools.
Fortran developers building command-line applications, particularly in scientific computing, numerical analysis, or engineering simulations who need robust argument parsing.
Developers choose FLAP because it brings modern CLI capabilities to Fortran with a familiar API inspired by Python's argparse, supports multiple build systems and licenses, and automates documentation and help generation, saving development time.
