# logfmt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Package logfmt implements utilities to marshal and unmarshal data in the [logfmt
|
||
|
|
format](https://brandur.org/logfmt). It provides an API similar to
|
||
|
|
[encoding/json](http://golang.org/pkg/encoding/json/) and
|
||
|
|
[encoding/xml](http://golang.org/pkg/encoding/xml/).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The logfmt format was first documented by Brandur Leach in [this
|
||
|
|
article](https://brandur.org/logfmt). The format has not been formally
|
||
|
|
standardized. The most authoritative public specification to date has been the
|
||
|
|
documentation of a Go Language [package](http://godoc.org/github.com/kr/logfmt)
|
||
|
|
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
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Package logfmt publishes releases via [semver](http://semver.org/) compatible Git tags prefixed with a single 'v'.
