title: Resources for slog
---

This page links to projects that use or enhance [`slog`](https://pkg.go.dev/log/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](https://github.com/kubernetes/klog): the text format used by Kubernetes. Provides klog output routing when using the main package's logger and [a simpler logger](https://github.com/kubernetes/klog/tree/main/textlogger) that just writes to stderr. Both slog/logr and go-logr/logr APIs are supported.
- slogjson: Format using the upcoming [JSON v2 library](https://github.com/golang/go/discussions/63397), with optional single-line pretty-printing: https://github.com/veqryn/slog-json

#### Logger bridges
- Zap Handler, a slog handler that uses Zap: https://github.com/chanchal1987/zaphandler
- [zapr](https://github.com/go-logr/zapr): starting with v1.3.0, both slog/logr and go-logr/logr APIs are supported by the same logger instance.
- A handler for [GoKit](github.com/go-kit/log): https://github.com/tjhop/slog-gokit.

#### Logging Middleware
- slogctx: store attributes or the logger in context, read any custom values from context: https://github.com/veqryn/slog-context
- slog-context/otel: automatically read and add OpenTelemetry TraceID and SpanID to logs, and can set Span error code: [github.com/veqryn/slog-context/otel](https://github.com/veqryn/slog-context#opentelemetry-traceid-spanid-extractor)
- slogdedup: deduplication and sorting of attribute keys, with multiple policies, useful for json logging. Convenience methods to output for Stackdriver, Graylog, and others: https://github.com/veqryn/slog-dedup

#### HTTP server middleware
- slog-gin: Gin middleware for slog logger: https://github.com/samber/slog-gin
- slog-echo: Echo middleware for slog logger: https://github.com/samber/slog-echo
- slog-fiber: Fiber middleware for slog logger: https://github.com/samber/slog-fiber
- slog-chi: Chi middleware for slog logger: https://github.com/samber/slog-chi
