Tiny Command Line Arguments Parser (Abandoned)

verified Jun 17, 2026

argsparser is an extremely tiny command-line arguments parser for Node.js, last published as version 0.0.7 over a decade ago. It operates by converting an array of arguments (typically `process.argv`) into a key-value object based on simple parsing rules. Keys are identified as the first element or elements prefixed by `-` or `--`. Subsequent elements become the key's value; if multiple values follow, they form an array, and if no value, the key's value is `true`. Its primary differentiator was its minimalistic footprint and simple parsing logic. Due to its age, lack of maintenance, and reliance on very old Node.js versions (specifically `>=0.2.0`), it is not suitable for modern projects and should be considered entirely abandoned. Modern alternatives like `commander`, `yargs`, or `minimist` offer robust and actively maintained solutions for CLI parsing.
