console VS go-clap

A cobra command console: https://github.com/reeflective/console: this library targets a much more restrained set of application developers, which are interested in closed-loop CLI applications with specific sets of commands, and generally deprived of any specific syntax outside the one-liner command model. It relies on the `readline` library above, which is tightly integrated so as to provide a console application much more powerful than most, with complete support for the [spf13/cobra](https://github.com/spf13/cobra) library.

flags aims to merge the concepts from https://github.com/jessevdk/go-flags, and https://github.com/octago/sflags, both relying on struct tags to define CLI command specs. The flags library uses these underlying concepts to produce complete `cobra.Command` trees, and brings many comfort-of-life improvements for the generated applications/commands.

Console (https://github.com/reeflective/console)

Console (https://github.com/reeflective/console) This library wraps the readline library (described below) and leverages cobra commands in order to provide a closed-loop console working with cobra commands out of the box, also providing many comfort-of-life features at minimum cost, like support for oh-my-posh prompt engines, different menus and much more.

Cobra has lots of features, but is really complex and intrusive, especially for a newcomer. I would advise you to have a look at clap (https://github.com/fred1268/go-clap) which is very easy to use and absolutely non intrusive. All you need to do is to create a struct containing the fields you want to retrieve from the command line, and annotate it with standard Go tags.

For some in depth examples on how to use reflection in Go and transform types into others, I would suggest you to have a look at clap, the Command Line Argument Parser, and more specifically this file.
