Package logfmt implements utilities to marshal and unmarshal data in the [logfmt
|
|
format][fmt]. It provides an API similar to [encoding/json][json] and
|
|
[encoding/xml][xml].

|
|
|
The logfmt format was first documented by Brandur Leach in [this
|
|
article][origin]. The format has not been formally standardized. The most
|
|
authoritative public specification to date has been the documentation of a Go
|
|
Language [package][parser] 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][pub].
