Command-line parameter reader & parser

Command-line parameter reader (retired)

This library is now retired and will not receive further updates. Please consider System.CommandLine instead.


This library introduces a reader/parser for command-line application parameters, with a capability to deserialize the read parameters into a plain old CSharp object (POCO).

To use this library you would:

  • Register the available parameters using a mapping-based mechanism.
  • Pass the string[] parameters received from your static void Main(string[] args) method into the parser
  • Receive, from the parser, an instance of your POCO with its applicable properties populated.
