ADR 5: Pick Analysis Cli Library

Context

As noted in ADR-4 CodeCharta will use a pipes and filters architecture. But it has not been defined how the user will interact with the analysis.

Status

accepted

Decision

CodeCharta Analysis will be a set of command-line tools that use PicoCli. PicoCli is small, powerful, regularly updated and works great in combination with Kotlin.

Consequences

• A cli is not as intuitive as a well-structured graphical user interface would have been.
