Document alternatives

Open jayqi opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

We should document alternatives to cloudpathlib.

The only one I've seen is https://github.com/liormizr/s3path

One common way this is done is to have an ## Alternatives section towards the bottom of the README with a bullet list. If we want to elaborate, we can link to an Alternatives page in the docs website that has more discussion.

EDIT: Here's another https://github.com/justindujardin/pathy

Probably makes sense to also document non-pathlib-interface alternatives:

  • fsspec-family of projects
  • smart_open : only implements open for reading/writing
