A Go library that adds stack traces and source code fragments to errors. It wraps existing errors or creates new ones, then prints or formats them with colored source context for easier debugging.

Use cases

  • add stack traces to errors in go
  • print error source code fragments
  • debug uninformative error output
  • wrap errors with stack trace
  • get stack trace frames from an error
  • format errors with color for logs

When to choose

  • you need richer error output than plain Go error strings
  • you want source code context attached to stack traces
  • you need a lightweight drop-in error wrapper in Go

When to avoid

  • you need error wrapping compatible with Go 1.13 errors.Is/As semantics
  • performance-critical hot paths where stack capture is too costly
  • you prefer structured error types like pkg/errors alternatives
