Logrus is a structured, pluggable logging library for Go, fully API-compatible with the standard library logger. It supports JSON, logfmt, and colorized text formatters plus hooks, and is now in maintenance mode with only security and bug fixes.
Use cases
- add structured logging to a Go application
- emit JSON logs for Logstash or Splunk
- drop-in replacement for the Go standard library logger
- attach hooks to send logs to external services
- color-coded console logs during development
When to choose
- you need a battle-tested, widely adopted structured logger for Go
- you want stdlib log API compatibility for easy migration
- you need pluggable formatters and hooks
When to avoid
- you are starting a new Go project and can use log/slog, zerolog, or zap instead
- you need actively developed new features
- you need the highest-performance logging available
