Motivation

resume-cli is the original command line tool for JSON Resume, the open source initiative to create a JSON-based standard for resumes. It has served the community well for years, but its broad scope and aging codebase has become increasingly harder to maintain.

Resumed is a complete reimplementation of resume-cli, using more modern technologies while dropping certain features, to remain small and focused.

Theme resolution

Resumed does not install any themes. You must pick and install one yourself, and specify your choice via the --theme option or the .meta.theme field of your resume.

In contrast, resume-cli comes with a default theme, and only supports the --theme option. This is fine for most users, but it ties the default theme package release cycle to that of the CLI, and may be a little more verbose.

Interface

While both tools can be used from the command line, Resumed also provides a fully-tested, strongly-typed Node.js API to create, validate and render resumes programatically.

Other features

Resumed makes some compromises in terms of features, such as no PDF export, local previews or YAML format support. If you miss any of these, you can combine Resumed with other tools, (e.g. Puppeteer for PDF generation, see example) or continue using resume-cli.
