A high-performance .NET library that renders stack traces with modern C# 7.0+ features (async, lambdas, generics, iterators) in a format that matches the original source code. It makes exception output and error logs significantly easier to read and mentally parse.

Use cases

• make exception stack traces readable in C# error logs
• resolve async/await and lambda frames back to source code in stack traces
• improve productivity when debugging .NET exceptions
• replace Environment.StackTrace with a cleaner enhanced stack trace
• format stack traces for ASP.NET Core error reporting
• debug compiler-generated methods like iterators and local functions

When to choose

• you are building .NET applications and want human-readable exception stack traces
• your error logs are hard to parse due to compiler-generated method names
• you use modern C# features like async/await, lambdas, and generics heavily
• you want an inspectable list of stack frames in your diagnostics tooling

When to avoid

• you are not on the .NET platform
• you need machine-parsed stack traces with raw IL method names for automated tooling
• your runtime already provides demystified stack traces (newer .NET versions incorporate similar formatting)
