go-logX is a highly concurrent, memory-efficient, and production-grade logging package built on top of Uber's Zap library. It provides structured JSON logging with automatic sensitive data masking, zero-allocation patterns, and robust concurrency safety.

• High Performance: Zero-allocation patterns and low GC pressure
• Structured JSON Logging: All logs output in structured JSON format
• Log Levels: TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL with configurable minimum level
• UTC Timestamps: RFC3339Nano formatted timestamps
• Sensitive Data Masking: Automatic redaction of passwords, tokens, emails, etc.
• Concurrency Safe: Thread-safe operations across multiple goroutines
• Lightweight: Minimal memory overhead and efficient resource usage
• Production Ready: Graceful failure handling, never panics

• timestamp: RFC3339Nano formatted UTC timestamp
• level: Log level (TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL)
• message: Log message
• caller: Source file and line number (optional)
• stacktrace: Stack trace for errors (optional)
• Custom contextual fields

# Run the example application
cd examples
go run main.go

1. Initialize Early: Call logx.InitDefault() or logx.Init(config) at application startup
2. Use Structured Fields: Include relevant context in log messages
3. Handle Errors: Use logx.ErrorField(err) for error logging
4. Sync on Shutdown: Call logx.Sync() before application exit
5. Configure Appropriately: Set appropriate log levels for different environments

var config *logx.Config

switch os.Getenv("ENV") {
case "development":
    config = &logx.Config{
        Level:       logx.DebugLevel,
        Development: true,
