Clavinet

Clavinet is a command line argument parser with it's own language rules. It joins the given process.argv into a string and then parses it with it's own language grammar.

Language

Clavinet has these concepts:

• Commands — Commands start with double dashes as --some-command-name and they can have a value after them separated by spaces like: --say hello, or --add [2, 3, 5]
• Values — Values are Literals or Arrays
• Array — Array is made of a sequence of Values separated by , and inside of square bracket. For example: [1, 2, 4, hello, [1, 3]]
• Literals — Literals are numbers and words in this format: [a-zA-Z0-9_\./][a-zA-Z0-9_\.\-/]*

Building
