//! # better-tracing
//! ### Community fork 🍴 of `tracing-subscriber` focused on usability and accessibility.
//!
//! **better-tracing** = **tracing-subscriber** + **smart defaults and features that just work**
//! Utilities for implementing and composing [`tracing`][tracing] subscribers.
//! This fork provides sensible defaults, accessible formatting, and resolves architectural limitations while maintaining full drop-in compatibility.
//!
//! See the [CHANGELOG](https://github.com/dra11y/better-tracing/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md) for implemented features and fixes.
//!
//! [`tracing`] is a framework for instrumenting Rust programs to collect
//! scoped, structured, and async-aware diagnostics. The [`Subscriber`] trait
//! represents the functionality necessary to collect this trace data. This
//! crate contains tools for composing subscribers out of smaller units of
//! behaviour, and batteries-included implementations of common subscriber
//! functionality.
//!
//! `better-tracing` is intended for use by both `Subscriber` authors and
//! application authors using `tracing` to instrument their applications.
//!
//! *Compiler support: [requires `rustc` 1.65+][msrv]*
//!
//! [msrv]: #supported-rust-versions
//!
//! ## `Layer`s and `Filter`s
//!
//! The most important component of the `better-tracing` API is the
//! [`Layer`] trait, which provides a composable abstraction for building
//! [`Subscriber`]s. Like the [`Subscriber`] trait, a [`Layer`] defines a
//! particular behavior for collecting trace data. Unlike [`Subscriber`]s,
//! which implement a *complete* strategy for how trace data is collected,
//! [`Layer`]s provide *modular* implementations of specific behaviors.
//! Therefore, they can be [composed together] to form a [`Subscriber`] which is
//! capable of recording traces in a variety of ways. See the [`layer` module's
//! documentation][layer] for details on using [`Layer`]s.
//!
//! In addition, the [`Filter`] trait defines an interface for filtering what
//! spans and events are recorded by a particular layer. This allows different
//! [`Layer`]s to handle separate subsets of the trace data emitted by a
//! program. See the [documentation on per-layer filtering][plf] for more
//! information on using [`Filter`]s.

//!
//! ## Included Subscribers
//!
//! The following `Subscriber`s are provided for application authors:
//!
//! - [`fmt`] - Formats and logs tracing data (requires the `fmt` feature flag)
//!
//! ## Feature Flags
//!
//! - `std`: Enables APIs that depend on the Rust standard library
//!   (enabled by default).
//! - `alloc`: Depend on [`liballoc`] (enabled by "std").
//! - `env-filter`: Enables the [`EnvFilter`] type, which implements filtering
//!   similar to the [`env_logger` crate]. **Requires "std"**.
//! - `fmt`: Enables the [`fmt`] module, which provides a subscriber
//!   implementation for printing formatted representations of trace events.
//!   Enabled by default. **Requires "registry" and "std"**.
//! - `ansi`: Enables `fmt` support for ANSI terminal colors. Enabled by
//!   default.
//! - `registry`: enables the [`registry`] module. Enabled by default.
//!   **Requires "std"**.
//! - `json`: Enables `fmt` support for JSON output. In JSON output, the ANSI
//!   feature does nothing. **Requires "fmt" and "std"**.
//! - `local-time`: Enables local time formatting when using the [`time`
//!   crate]'s timestamp formatters with the `fmt` subscriber.
//!
//! [`registry`]: mod@registry
//!
//! ### Optional Dependencies
//!
//! - [`tracing-log`]: Enables better formatting for events emitted by `log`
//!   macros in the `fmt` subscriber. Enabled by default.
//! - [`time`][`time` crate]: Enables support for using the [`time` crate] for timestamp
//!   formatting in the `fmt` subscriber.
//! - [`smallvec`]: Causes the `EnvFilter` type to use the `smallvec` crate (rather
//!   than `Vec`) as a performance optimization. Enabled by default.
//! - [`parking_lot`]: Use the `parking_lot` crate's `RwLock` implementation
//!   rather than the Rust standard library's implementation.
//!
//! ### `no_std` Support
//!
//! In embedded systems and other bare-metal applications, `tracing` can be
//! used without requiring the Rust standard library, although some features are
//! disabled. Although most of the APIs provided by `better-tracing`, such
//! as [`fmt`] and [`EnvFilter`], require the standard library, some
//! functionality, such as the [`Layer`] trait, can still be used in
//! `no_std` environments.
//!
//! The dependency on the standard library is controlled by two crate feature
//! flags, "std", which enables the dependency on [`libstd`], and "alloc", which
//! enables the dependency on [`liballoc`] (and is enabled by the "std"
//! feature). These features are enabled by default, but `no_std` users can
//! disable them using:
//!
//! ```toml
//! # Cargo.toml
//! better-tracing = { version = "0.3", default-features = false }
//! ```
//!
//! Additional APIs are available when [`liballoc`] is available. To enable
//! `liballoc` but not `std`, use:
//!
//! ```toml
//! # Cargo.toml
//! better-tracing = { version = "0.3", default-features = false, features = ["alloc"] }
//! ```
//!
//! ### Unstable Features
//!
//! These feature flags enable **unstable** features. The public API may break in 0.1.x
//! releases. To enable these features, the `--cfg tracing_unstable` must be passed to
//! `rustc` when compiling.
//!
//! The following unstable feature flags are currently available:
//!
//! * `valuable`: Enables support for serializing values recorded using the
//!   [`valuable`] crate as structured JSON in the [`format::Json`] formatter.
//!
//! #### Enabling Unstable Features
//!
//! The easiest way to set the `tracing_unstable` cfg is to use the `RUSTFLAGS`
//! env variable when running `cargo` commands:
//!
//! ```shell
//! RUSTFLAGS="--cfg tracing_unstable" cargo build
//! ```
//! Alternatively, the following can be added to the `.cargo/config` file in a
//! project to automatically enable the cfg flag for that project:
//!
//! ```toml
//! [build]
//! rustflags = ["--cfg", "tracing_unstable"]
//! ```
//!
//! [feature flags]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html#the-features-section
//! [`valuable`]: https://crates.io/crates/valuable
//! [`format::Json`]: crate::fmt::format::Json
//!
//! ## Supported Rust Versions
//!
//! Tracing is built against the latest stable release. The minimum supported
//! version is 1.65. The current Tracing version is not guaranteed to build on
//! Rust versions earlier than the minimum supported version.
//!
//! Tracing follows the same compiler support policies as the rest of the Tokio
//! project. The current stable Rust compiler and the three most recent minor
//! versions before it will always be supported. For example, if the current
//! stable compiler version is 1.69, the minimum supported version will not be
//! increased past 1.66, three minor versions prior. Increasing the minimum
//! supported compiler version is not considered a semver breaking change as
//! long as doing so complies with this policy.
