+In Telco/IT world, Any software platform/platform with out CLI is considered as in-complete and as there is no platform exists
+ today for implementing CLI, similar to Tomcat exists for HTTP applications, and followings are the main problems:
+
+* Vendor/Community chooses some appropriate frameworks/libraries to develop CLI and it incurs large amount of efforts/time/money.
+* For any bug-fixes/features, user needs to wait for (max. of one release cycle approx. 6 months)
+
+To address these problems, in open-source ONAP community, Open CLI Platform (OCLIP) is developed and is successfully used for developing CLI for ONAP.
+It helps to implement the commands just by writing YAML files for any cloud enabled software products and also provides plug-in mechanism to implement the commands which requires specific implementation.
+
+Advantages
+----------
+
+* Saves lots of effort, time and money spend by communities and/or vendors, who have been implementing the commands by using some framework or libraries
+* Make it simple, faster and easy to implement
+* Helps Operator/user to create new commands/fix the existing commands just by modifying the YAML file, so User no need to wait for an release time to get the fix for a bug or new commands.
+* Similar to Tomcat for deploying more than one webapps, on OCLIP, multiple's products commands could be deployed and executed.
+
+This platform defines Open Command Specification (OCS) for CLI, which is similar to the Open API specification (OAS) defined by swagger for REST API. It is like : **API for developers, CLI for admins/users/operators !**
