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.
Resumed automatically loads and uses the first installed theme found when rendering (exporting) a resume, similar to how Prettier plugins work. If no theme is installed, Resumed will guide you on how to proceed. It will also let you know if multiple themes are found, which one it picked, and how to use another one.
In contrast, resume-cli comes with a theme, and requires specifying what theme to use if the default does not suit you. This is fine for most users, but it ties the default theme package release cycle to that of the CLI, and is a little more verbose.
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.
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.
