Conclusion

Version 0.6.0 Updated Nov 12, 2025

OrthoConfig streamlines configuration management in Rust applications. By defining a single struct and annotating it with a small number of attributes, developers obtain a full configuration parser that respects CLI arguments, environment variables and configuration files with predictable precedence. Subcommand support and integration with clap‑dispatch further reduce boiler‑plate in complex CLI tools. The example vk repository demonstrates how a real application can adopt OrthoConfig to handle global options and subcommand defaults. Contributions to the project are welcome, and the design documents outline planned improvements such as richer error messages and support for additional naming strategies.
