logfmt
Package logfmt implements utilities to marshal and unmarshal data in the logfmt
format. It provides an API similar to encoding/json and
encoding/xml.
The logfmt format was first documented by Brandur Leach in this
article. The format has not been formally standardized. The most
authoritative public specification to date has been the documentation of a Go
Language package written by Blake Mizerany and Keith Rarick.
Goals
This project attempts to conform as closely as possible to the prior art, while
also removing ambiguity where necessary to provide well behaved encoder and
decoder implementations.
Non-goals
This project does not attempt to formally standardize the logfmt format. In the
event that logfmt is standardized this project would take conforming to the
standard as a goal.
Versioning
This project publishes releases according to the Go language guidelines for
developing and publishing modules.
