Sade CLI Framework

Sade is a lightweight and powerful JavaScript library designed for building robust command-line interface (CLI) applications for Node.js. It distinguishes itself by providing a small API surface while offering essential features such as default commands, git-like subcommands, flexible option flags with aliases, type-casting for default option values, and sophisticated handling of required versus optional arguments. Sade also includes built-in command validation and automates the generation of helpful documentation, including version and usage text. The current stable version is 1.8.1, and the package sees regular, feature-driven releases, often including patches and minor enhancements like Deno support and integrated TypeScript definitions. It aims to offer a smooth developer and user experience with minimal overhead, making it a strong alternative to more heavyweight CLI frameworks.
