   2 CLI (part of the Jarakta project)

   5 This is Java library.
   6 The interface seems to be similiar, except for data storage.
   7 1. Instead of variables_map, the library can store the data
   8 as Java system properties.
   9 2. The class Option, which uses to describe the data, is also
  10    used to keep the value. In contract, I keep them in separate
  11    place. This facilitate using the same options description
  12    for different data sources.

  14 TODO: Need to check that Option.setType method does.

  16 Werken.opt

  19 This is a much simpler library then CLI, which
  20 somewhat less features.

  22 JArgs

  24
  25 Another Java library. Has a fixed set of value types it can
  26 handle.

  31 This is very lean library. It does not provide argument validation,
  32 and the only iterface is iteration over arguments. An interesting
  33 iterface decision is using chars to identify presense of option's parameters.
  34 This may be moved to my library (|, :, ?, *, +)

  39 This library provides options validation and storage. Unfortunately
  40 1. Only a fixed set of data types is supported.
  41 2. It's intrusive -- one has to declare variable of "class ArgChar" or
  42 something, and then extract data from there.
