15 //! ## Aspirations
16 //!
17 //! - Out of the box, users get a polished CLI experience
18 //!   - 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
19 //! - Flexible enough to port your existing CLI interface
20 //!   - However, we won't necessarily streamline support for each use case
21 //! - Reasonable parse performance
22 //! - Resilient maintainership, including
23 //!   - Willing to break compatibility rather than batching up breaking changes in large releases
24 //!   - Leverage feature flags to keep to one active branch
25 //!   - Being under [WG-CLI](https://github.com/rust-cli/team/) to increase the bus factor
26 //! - We follow semver and will wait about 6-9 months between major breaking changes
27 //! - We will support the last two minor Rust releases (MSRV, currently 1.64.0)
28 //!
29 //! While these aspirations can be at odds with fast build times and low binary
30 //! size, we will still strive to keep these reasonable for the flexibility you
31 //! get.  Check out the
32 //! [argparse-benchmarks](https://github.com/rust-cli/argparse-benchmarks-rs) for
33 //! CLI parsers optimized for other use cases.
34 //!
35 //! ## Example
36 //!
37 //! Run
38 //! ```console
39 //! $ cargo add clap --features derive
40 //! ```
41 //! *(See also [feature flag reference][_features])*
42 //!
43 //! Then define your CLI in `main.rs`:
44 #![cfg_attr(not(feature = "derive"), doc = " ```ignore")]
45 #![cfg_attr(feature = "derive", doc = " ```no_run")]
46 #![doc = include_str!("../examples/demo.rs")]
47 //! ```
48 //!
49 //! And try it out:
50 #![doc = include_str!("../examples/demo.md")]
51 //!
52 //! See also the derive [tutorial][_derive::_tutorial] and [reference][_derive]
53 //!
