## Description

resume-cli is a command line interface for managing professional resumes based on the JSON Resume standard. It provides a suite of tools for validating resume data against a standardized schema and transforming that structured data into visual documents.

The project includes a theme engine that converts data into stylized HTML and PDF documents. It features a data converter to import various professional file formats into a single standardized structure and a local server for previewing changes to a resume in real time.

The toolset covers the full workflow of professional data management, from file initialization and schema validation to automated document export and multi-format data import.
