17//! ## Aspirations
18//!
19//! - Out of the box, users get a polished CLI experience
20//! - Including common argument behavior, help generation, suggested fixes for users, colored output, [shell completions](https://github.com/clap-rs/clap/tree/master/clap_complete), etc
21//! - Flexible enough to port your existing CLI interface
22//! - However, we won't necessarily streamline support for each use case
23//! - Reasonable parse performance
24//! - Resilient maintainership, including
25//! - Willing to break compatibility rather than batching up breaking changes in large releases
26//! - Leverage feature flags to keep to one active branch
27//! - Being under [WG-CLI](https://github.com/rust-cli/team/) to increase the bus factor
28//! - We follow semver and will wait about 6-9 months between major breaking changes
29//! - We will support the last two minor Rust releases (MSRV, currently 1.70.0)
30//!
31//! While these aspirations can be at odds with fast build times and low binary
32//! size, we will still strive to keep these reasonable for the flexibility you
33//! get. Check out the
34//! [argparse-benchmarks](https://github.com/rust-cli/argparse-benchmarks-rs) for
35//! CLI parsers optimized for other use cases.
36//!
37//! ## Example
38//!
39//! Run
40//! ```console
41//! $ cargo add clap --features derive
42//! ```
43//! *(See also [feature flag reference][_features])*
44//!
45//! Then define your CLI in `main.rs`:
46//! ```rust
47//! # #[cfg(feature = "derive")] {
48#![doc = include_str!("../examples/demo.rs")]
49//! # }
50//! ```
51//!
52//! And try it out:
53#![doc = include_str!("../examples/demo.md")]
54//!
55//! See also the derive [tutorial][_derive::_tutorial] and [reference][_derive]
