Commander is a feature-rich npm package for building command-line interfaces in Node.js. It provides a simple and intuitive API for creating command-line tools with options, arguments, and commands. Commander simplifies the process of parsing command-line inputs and executing corresponding actions, making it ideal for building CLI applications and scripts.

Compared to other CLI frameworks like yargs and minimist, Commander offers a more declarative and structured approach to defining commands and options. It also provides built-in help generation and auto-generated usage information, enhancing the user experience.
