About:
Minised is a streamlined and efficient implementation of the stream editor SED. It provides core text manipulation capabilities with a significantly smaller footprint and faster execution than GNU sed, making it ideal for resource-constrained environments.
Key Features:
  • Extremely lightweight and fast
  • POSIX-compliant basic regular expressions
  • Minimal memory footprint
  • Compatible command-line syntax
Use Cases:
  • Embedded systems and containers where space is limited
  • High-performance batch text processing
  • Scripting tasks requiring standard SED functionality without bloat
Alternatives:
  • GNU sed – Feature-rich and ubiquitous, but significantly larger and slower than Minised.
  • BSD sed – Standard on macOS, but Minised may offer better performance on Linux.
