//! `Span` and `Event` key-value data. //! //! Spans and events may be annotated with key-value data, referred to as _fields_. //! These fields consist of a mapping from a key (corresponding to //! a `&str` but represented internally as an array index) to a [`Value`]. //! //! # `Value`s and `Subscriber`s //! //! `Subscriber`s consume `Value`s as fields attached to [span]s or [`Event`]s. //! The set of field keys on a given span or event is defined on its [`Metadata`]. //! When a span is created, it provides [`Attributes`] to the `Subscriber`'s //! [`new_span`] method, containing any fields whose values were provided when //! the span was created; and may call the `Subscriber`'s [`record`] method //! with additional [`Record`]s if values are added for more of its fields. //! Similarly, the [`Event`] type passed to the subscriber's [`event`] method //! will contain any fields attached to each event. //! //! `tracing` represents values as either one of a set of Rust primitives //! (`i64`, `u64`, `f64`, `bool`, and `&str`) or using a `fmt::Display` or //! `fmt::Debug` implementation. `Subscriber`s are provided these primitive //! value types as `dyn Value` trait objects. //! //! These trait objects can be formatted using `fmt::Debug`, but may also be //! recorded as typed data by calling the [`Value::record`] method on these //! trait objects with a _visitor_ implementing the [`Visit`] trait. This trait //! represents the behavior used to record values of various types. For example, //! an implementation of `Visit` might record integers by incrementing counters //! for their field names rather than printing them. //! //! //! # Using `valuable` //! //! `tracing`'s [`Value`] trait is intentionally minimalist: it supports only a small //! number of Rust primitives as typed values, and only permits recording //! user-defined types with their [`fmt::Debug`] or [`fmt::Display`] //! implementations. However, there are some cases where it may be useful to record //! nested values (such as arrays, `Vec`s, or `HashMap`s containing values), or //! user-defined `struct` and `enum` types without having to format them as //! unstructured text. //! //! To address `Value`'s limitations, `tracing` offers experimental support for //! the [`valuable`] crate, which provides object-safe inspection of structured //! values. User-defined types can implement the [`valuable::Valuable`] trait, //! and be recorded as a `tracing` field by calling their [`as_value`] method. //! If the [`Subscriber`] also supports the `valuable` crate, it can //! then visit those types fields as structured values using `valuable`. //! //!
//!     Note: valuable support is an
//!     unstable feature. See
//!     the documentation on unstable features for details on how to enable it.
//! 
//! //! For example: //! ```ignore //! // Derive `Valuable` for our types: //! use valuable::Valuable; //! //! #[derive(Clone, Debug, Valuable)] //! struct User { //! name: String, //! age: u32, //! address: Address, //! } //! //! #[derive(Clone, Debug, Valuable)] //! struct Address { //! country: String, //! city: String, //! street: String, //! } //! //! let user = User { //! name: "Arwen Undomiel".to_string(), //! age: 3000, //! address: Address { //! country: "Middle Earth".to_string(), //! city: "Rivendell".to_string(), //! street: "leafy lane".to_string(), //! }, //! }; //! //! // Recording `user` as a `valuable::Value` will allow the `tracing` subscriber //! // to traverse its fields as a nested, typed structure: //! tracing::info!(current_user = user.as_value()); //! ``` //! //! Alternatively, the [`valuable()`] function may be used to convert a type //! implementing [`Valuable`] into a `tracing` field value. //! //! When the `valuable` feature is enabled, the [`Visit`] trait will include an //! optional [`record_value`] method. `Visit` implementations that wish to //! record `valuable` values can implement this method with custom behavior. //! If a visitor does not implement `record_value`, the [`valuable::Value`] will //! be forwarded to the visitor's [`record_debug`] method. //! //! [`fmt::Debug`]: std::fmt::Debug //!
