clipp: Streamline C++ CLI parsing with a single‑header library
From the repo · “easy to use, powerful & expressive command line argument parsing for modern C++ / single header / usage & doc generation”
Clipp provides simple and powerful command line argument parsing for modern C++ applications, allowing founders and developers to easily handle user input and generate usage documentation.
- •When building a command line tool that requires user input and configuration
- •When needing to generate usage documentation and help messages for a C++ application
- •When looking for a lightweight and single-header solution for command line argument parsing
To parse a command line argument for a port number, use the following code: auto cli = clipp::group(clipp::option("-p", "--port") % clipp::integer("port number")); clipp::parse(argc, argv, cli); int port = clipp::value("port number");Skip the builder — one click puts this in Claude, Cursor, Antigravity and more.
Expect 20–40 minutes in a terminal — or let your AI agent drive it.

Clipp: Streamline C++ CLI parsing with a single‑header library is a medium C++ project (~7.2k lines across 34 code files, plus 41 test files). Expect some technical setup — comfortable with a terminal, or ask a developer. Last commit 29 months ago, MIT license, has a test suite.
