Linenoise
A pure Swift implementation of Linenoise, providing a minimal, zero-config readline replacement for command-line applications.
What is Linenoise?
Linenoise-Swift is a pure Swift library that implements the Linenoise functionality, serving as a minimal and dependency-free replacement for readline in command-line applications. It solves the problem of adding advanced line-editing, history, and completion features to terminal-based Swift tools without relying on external C libraries or complex configurations.
Swift developers building command-line tools, REPLs, or interactive terminal applications that require robust user input handling.
Developers choose Linenoise-Swift for its pure Swift implementation, which eliminates external dependencies and simplifies integration via Swift Package Manager, while providing a modern, Swifty API that mirrors the capabilities of the original Linenoise library.
