CLI11 is making all the other options libraries look bad, does anyone have a comparison from experience?

• CLI11

  12 3,087 8.5 C++

  CLI11 is a command line parser for C++11 and beyond that provides a rich feature set with a simple and intuitive interface.

  

Does anyone have feedback on the possible problems with CLI11 and comparisons to any other thing available in the wild not limited to the choices I tried before? Looks like a very well-thought out library according to its documentation: https://cliutils.github.io/CLI11/book/

  Argh! A minimalist argument handler. (by adishavit)

I personally have been very satisfied with Argh, although I'm not sure that it's necessarily as powerful or more so than CLI11.

• jarro2783/cxxopts

  15 3,989 6.8 C++

  Lightweight C++ command line option parser

I use CLI11 for more complex things, https://github.com/jarro2783/cxxopts for simpler interfaces, and boost.program_options if I have to and have boost anyways as dependency.

I’ve written CLP and think it is a great solution for programs with relatively low numbers of options:

• Lyra

  2 457 4.0 C++

  A simple to use, composable, command line parser for C++ 11 and beyond (by bfgroup)

  

I love CLI11! It has been pretty easy all the way through. Used to use lyra before but since I wanted to have subgroups in Tolc I had to switch. Great job on CLI11 if the author is in the chat :)

  A bindings compiler for C++
