Middleware for in application use

Ever wish you didn’t have to develop some general purpose libraries and or middleware which you simply tote around between applications making simple tweaks when appropriate or blindly copying and pasting as needed? If so, then this is a library you can sink your code into.

Why

I built this because I use the same code over and over again and I’m tired of copying the same bits between projects. So now, if I have something that’s general purpose enough I’m going to put it in library which I’ll use throughout my applications as I develop them.

Features

Argument parsing for CLI applications
HTTP requests
Universal logging
Outbound email messaging
Linux package installation
Configuration file parsing
Shell commands
Various utilities
