DigitalProduction.CommandLine

Command line argument parsing library for .Net.

Legacy

Origin

This library is derived directly from the Plossum command line parsing library written by Peter Palotas.

Issues

The NuGet package was available and functional, so the software was usable. However, there were a few issues.

  • The code was based on outdated an outdated framework. This was causing compile time warnings.
  • The code base was not being maintained.
  • The source code was only available as a download (it was static). There wasn't a repository to which to contribute changes.
  • The examples were not directly runnable.
  • Some data types contained errors.
  • Nullable types were not supported.

New Library

Justification

This effort was initiated to achieve several goals:

  • Remove compile time warnings from using legacy frameworks.
  • Provide a GitHub repository.
  • Update the code base to use modern language features.
  • Simplify the code base.
  • Remove bugs and support Nullable types.

Changes

  • The library name was changed to avoid confusion with the original.
  • The namespaces were consolidated and changed to match the library name.
  • Updates to reflect new library features.
  • Simplification of code.
  • Added unit tests.
  • Added a .Net Maui example.
