mow.cli
A Go framework for building command line applications with declarative argument parsing and validation.
What is mow.cli?
mow.cli is a Go framework for building command line applications that offloads argument parsing and validation from the developer. It uses declarative spec strings to define command syntax, automatically generating help messages and enforcing correct usage. The library supports complex features like optional arguments, repetition, command nesting, and backtracking, making it suitable for both simple tools and sophisticated multi-command applications.
Go developers building command line tools, from simple utilities to complex applications with nested commands and advanced argument validation needs.
Developers choose mow.cli for its powerful declarative spec grammar, which reduces boilerplate code and ensures robust argument handling. Unlike other CLI libraries, it supports advanced parsing features like backtracking and complex dependencies, while providing contextual help and a clean API for command nesting.
