A minimal, colorful, leveled structured logging library for Go with a small API. It supports text, JSON, and logfmt formatters, an slog handler, and context-based logger storage.
Use cases
- add colorful human-readable logging to a Go app
- structured leveled logging with a small API
- emit JSON or logfmt logs from Go services
- use a custom slog handler in Go
- store and retrieve a logger via Go context
When to choose
- you want pretty, human-readable terminal logs in Go
- you need leveled structured logging with minimal setup
- you're already using the Charm ecosystem (Lip Gloss, Bubble Tea)
When to avoid
- you need high-throughput machine-parsed logging at scale
- you require log shipping or aggregation built in
- you need a logging framework with plugins and appenders
