We’re delighted to announce ArgumentParser, a new open-source library that makes it straightforward — even enjoyable! — to parse command-line arguments in Swift.

From the byline of the project:

This is really great! Thanks for making this.

This looks really nice! How does the parser know what the arguments of a command are? Is it using runtime metadata similar to SwiftUI or is there some other method?

It uses Mirror.
