========================================== jog -- Structured logging library for Go

Jog is a simple, minimal, logging library for Go. It's meant for backend services that generate a lot of logs, where ease of processing is more important than human eyeball friendliness.

• the right way is the easy way; event types are differentiated for you
• log rotation, compression, and such belong outside the process
• don't repeat identical values in every log message, e.g. hostname (these can be added at indexing time)
• can be (realtime) postprocessed for more readable messages

Usage:

log := jog.New(nil)

type cowbell struct {
    More bool
}
log.Event(cowbell{More: true})

type sound struct {
    Description string
}
log.Event(sound{Description: "dynamite"})
log.Event(sound{Description: "loud"})
log.Event(sound{Description: "distracting"})

Define a new type for every type of event you emit. Don't reuse the same name within the package (Go helps you with this! They're already identifiers!).
