Blessed is a curses-like library for creating terminal-based user interfaces in Node.js. It provides a high-level API for building interactive and visually appealing command-line applications with features like windows, buttons, forms, and text elements. Blessed simplifies the process of creating terminal UIs by handling low-level terminal rendering and input events, allowing developers to focus on building the application logic.
Compared to alternatives like ncurses or urwid, Blessed offers a more modern and JavaScript-friendly approach to building terminal interfaces. It is actively maintained and regularly updated with new features and improvements, making it a popular choice for developers looking to create robust and user-friendly CLI applications.
