This is a structured logging library designed to produce logs using key-value pairs, severity levels, and machine-readable formats. It provides a toolkit for creating logs that are consistent for both human review and machine parsing.
The project is distinguished by its focus on terminal visualization, using a styling system to apply colors and prefixes to log entries for improved readability in consoles. It also includes a specialized adapter to convert standard library log calls into structured events by inferring severity levels from message prefixes.
The library manages metadata through contextual sub-loggers that attach persistent attributes and automatic source location information to entries. It supports multiple serialization formats, including JSON and logfmt, and provides source attribution by analyzing the call stack to identify the origin of log events.
The system integrates with the standard slog package via a custom handler to route structured logs through its formatting engine.
