Possibly, there are many tools out there that might do the same thing. However, I find parted relatively easy to use when dealing with partition resizing. The command is "resize".
AFAIK, it only resize VFAT, ext2 and ext3. Other filesystem might need external tools, but I haven't checked it thoroughly.

Resizing Ext4 works similar to Ext3: https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/F[...]_to_online_resize_the_Ext4_filesystem.3F
XFS can only be grown by using the tool xfs_growfs.
JFS can resize by using the resize mount option (mount -o remount,resize /home). The resizing can be done while the filesystem is in use. As with XFS, JFS can only grow filesystems
