Signature

DValue cli_input(Request& context)

Returns a structured parameter tree for a CLI(Request& context) invocation.

cli_input() merges simple command inputs into one DValue:

  1. query parameters from context.get

  2. form parameters from context.post

  3. JSON object fields from an application/json or *+json request body

Later sources override earlier ones, so a JSON body can override a query or form key with the same name.

If the JSON body is a scalar or array instead of an object, the decoded value is stored under input["_"].

Convenience script usage:

Example

DValue input = cli_input(context);
print("parsed ", input.keys().size(), " CLI arguments\n");
Output
parsed 1 CLI arguments
