Using the structured logger
Since the standard logger has limited practical use, many third-party logging libraries were developed by the community. Some of the patterns that emerged from these libraries emphasized structured logging and performance. The structured logging package was added to the standard library with these usage patterns in mind. The log package is still a useful tool for development as it provides a simple interface for developers and the users of the program, but the log/slog package is a production quality library that enables automated log analysis tools while providing a simple-to-use and flexible interface.
