This page links to projects that use or enhance slog, the structured logging package for the standard library.

Log formatting

• slog-formatter: Common formatters for slog + helpers for building your own: https://github.com/samber/slog-formatter
• ConsoleHandler (similar to Zap's ConsoleEncoder): https://gist.github.com/wijayaerick/de3de10c47a79d5310968ba5ff101a19
• logf (attr {key} interpolation, rich tty output): https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/AndrewHarrisSPU/logf (uses lazy Handler stores: https://go.dev/play/p/psdD7KDF5fp )
• slogd - slog with duration https://github.com/kaihendry/slogd with video https://youtu.be/IsPa11N5pzI
• tinted (colorized) output: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/lmittmann/tint
• humane: a human-friendly (but still largely structured) slog Handler: https://github.com/telemachus/humane
• slug: a handler that prints colourful logs for humans: https://github.com/dotse/slug
• slogor: A colorful slog handler: https://gitlab.com/greyxor/slogor
• klog: the text format used by Kubernetes. Provides klog output routing when using the main package's logger and a simpler logger that just writes to stderr. Both slog/logr and go-logr/logr APIs are supported.

Logger bridge

• Zap Handler, a slog handler that uses Zap: https://github.com/chanchal1987/zaphandler
• zapr: starting with v1.3.0, both slog/logr and go-logr/logr APIs are supported by the same logger instance.
