Pros of ACL4SSR

• Extensive collection of pre-configured rules for various applications and services
• Regular updates to keep rules current with changing network environments
• Community-driven development with frequent contributions and improvements

Cons of ACL4SSR

• Limited flexibility for custom rule creation compared to subconverter
• May include unnecessary rules for some users, potentially impacting performance
• Steeper learning curve for users unfamiliar with ACL syntax

Code Comparison

subconverter:

def convert(input_content, input_type, output_type):
    # Convert between different proxy subscription formats
    parsed_content = parse_input(input_content, input_type)
    return generate_output(parsed_content, output_type)

ACL4SSR:

# Example ACL rule
[Rule]
DOMAIN-SUFFIX,google.com,PROXY
DOMAIN-KEYWORD,facebook,PROXY
IP-CIDR,192.168.0.0/16,DIRECT
GEOIP,CN,DIRECT
FINAL,PROXY

The subconverter project focuses on converting between different proxy subscription formats, while ACL4SSR primarily provides pre-configured ACL rules for various applications and services. subconverter offers more flexibility in terms of input and output formats, whereas ACL4SSR excels in providing ready-to-use rule sets for common scenarios.

Pros of clash-rules

• Focused specifically on Clash configuration rules
• Regularly updated with new rule sets and domains
• Lightweight and easy to integrate into existing Clash setups

Cons of clash-rules

• Limited to Clash rule generation only
• Requires manual integration with other tools for full subscription conversion
• Less flexible for non-Clash proxy clients

Code Comparison

clash-rules:

payload:
  - DOMAIN-SUFFIX,example.com
  - IP-CIDR,192.168.1.0/24
  - GEOIP,CN

subconverter:

[custom]
enable_rule_generator=true
overwrite_original_rules=true

clash_rule_base=base/clash.yaml

Summary

clash-rules is a specialized repository for maintaining up-to-date Clash rule sets, while subconverter is a more comprehensive tool for converting between various proxy subscription formats. clash-rules excels in providing ready-to-use rules for Clash users, but lacks the versatility of subconverter in handling multiple proxy protocols and configurations. subconverter offers greater flexibility and conversion capabilities, making it suitable for users working with diverse proxy setups beyond just Clash.

Pros of yacd

• User-friendly web dashboard for Clash
• Lightweight and easy to deploy
• Modern, responsive UI design

Cons of yacd

• Limited to Clash configuration visualization and control
• Lacks advanced subscription conversion features
• Requires a running Clash core to function

Code comparison

yacd (React component):

function App() {
  return (
    <div className="app">
      <Header />
      <SideBar />
      <Content />
    </div>
  );
}

subconverter (C++ configuration parsing):

void Config::loadConfiguration(const std::string &path)
{
    INIReader reader(path);
    if (reader.ParseError() < 0)
        throw std::runtime_error("Failed to load configuration file.");
}

Summary

yacd is a web dashboard for Clash, offering a user-friendly interface for managing Clash configurations. It's lightweight and easy to deploy but limited to Clash-specific functionality.

subconverter, on the other hand, is a powerful tool for converting between various proxy subscription formats. It offers more advanced features for subscription management and conversion but lacks a built-in user interface.

While yacd focuses on providing a sleek UI for Clash users, subconverter is more versatile in handling different proxy protocols and subscription formats. The choice between the two depends on specific use cases and requirements.
