Welcome to the Soul CLI documentation. This guide will help you understand and use Soul CLI to streamline your SaaS development process.

Soul CLI is heavily influenced by go-zero in concept and structure. However, we've taken the core ideas beyond microservice architecture to create a unique tool tailored for SaaS development. While inspired by go-zero, Soul CLI has its own distinct codebase and features.

While Soul CLI draws inspiration from go-zero, it differs in several key areas:

1. Focus on SaaS: Soul CLI is specifically designed for SaaS development, offering features and templates tailored to common SaaS use cases.

2. Extended Architecture: We've expanded beyond microservices to support various architectural patterns common in SaaS applications.

3. Integrated Frontend Tools: Soul CLI includes built-in support for TypeScript clients and web components, facilitating full-stack development.

4. SaaS-specific Features: Our CLI offers tools for common SaaS requirements like user management, subscription handling, and multi-tenancy.

5. Customized Templating: We've developed a unique templating system that caters to SaaS-specific needs and rapid prototyping.
