## Installation
|
|
|
|
`go get -u go.uber.org/zap`
|
|
|
|
Note that zap only supports the two most recent minor versions of Go.
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
In contexts where performance is nice, but not critical, use the
|
|
`SugaredLogger`. It's 4-10x faster than other structured logging
|
|
packages and includes both structured and `printf`-style APIs.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
logger, _ := zap.NewProduction()
|
|
defer logger.Sync() // flushes buffer, if any
|
|
sugar := logger.Sugar()
|
|
sugar.Infow("failed to fetch URL",
|
|
// Structured context as loosely typed key-value pairs.
|
|
"url", url,
|
|
"attempt", 3,
|
|
"backoff", time.Second,
|
|
)
|
|
sugar.Infof("Failed to fetch URL: %s", url)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When performance and type safety are critical, use the `Logger`. It's even
|
|
faster than the `SugaredLogger` and allocates far less, but it only supports
|
|
structured logging.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
logger, _ := zap.NewProduction()
|
|
defer logger.Sync()
|
|
logger.Info("failed to fetch URL",
|
|
// Structured context as strongly typed Field values.
|
|
zap.String("url", url),
|
|
zap.Int("attempt", 3),
|
|
zap.Duration("backoff", time.Second),
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See the [documentation][doc] and [FAQ](FAQ.md) for more details.

|

|
## Performance
|
|
|
|
For applications that log in the hot path, reflection-based serialization and
|
|
string formatting are prohibitively expensive — they're CPU-intensive
|
|
and make many small allocations. Put differently, using `encoding/json` and
|
|
`fmt.Fprintf` to log tons of `interface{}`s makes your application slow.
|
|
|
|
Zap takes a different approach. It includes a reflection-free, zero-allocation
|
|
JSON encoder, and the base `Logger` strives to avoid serialization overhead
|
|
and allocations wherever possible. By building the high-level `SugaredLogger`
|
|
on that foundation, zap lets users *choose* when they need to count every
|
|
allocation and when they'd prefer a more familiar, loosely typed API.
|
|
|
|
As measured by its own [benchmarking suite][], not only is zap more performant
|
|
than comparable structured logging packages — it's also faster than the
|
|
standard library. Like all benchmarks, take these with a grain of salt.<sup

## Development Status: Stable
|
|
|
|
All APIs are finalized, and no breaking changes will be made in the 1.x series
|
|
of releases. Users of semver-aware dependency management systems should pin
|
|
zap to `^1`.
