# Colorized formatter that uses LogStruct formatting with SemanticLogger colorization
9+
# Development-Optimized Colorized JSON Formatter
10+
#
11+
# This formatter extends SemanticLogger's Color formatter to provide beautiful,
12+
# readable JSON output in development environments. It significantly improves
13+
# the developer experience when working with structured logs.
14+
#
15+
# ## Benefits of Colorized Output:
16+
#
17+
# ### Readability
18+
# - **Syntax highlighting**: JSON keys, values, and data types are color-coded
19+
# - **Visual hierarchy**: Different colors help identify structure at a glance
20+
# - **Error spotting**: Quickly identify malformed data or unexpected values
21+
# - **Context separation**: Log entries are visually distinct from each other
22+
#
23+
# ### Performance in Development
24+
# - **Faster debugging**: Quickly scan logs without reading every character
25+
# - **Pattern recognition**: Colors help identify common log patterns
26+
# - **Reduced cognitive load**: Less mental effort required to parse log output
27+
# - **Improved workflow**: Spend less time reading logs, more time coding
28+
#
29+
# ### Customization
30+
# - **Configurable colors**: Customize colors for keys, strings, numbers, etc.
31+
# - **Environment-aware**: Automatically disabled in production/CI environments
32+
# - **Fallback support**: Gracefully falls back to standard formatting if needed
33+
#
34+
# ## Color Mapping:
35+
# - **Keys**: Yellow - Easy to spot field names
36+
# - **Strings**: Green - Clear indication of text values
37+
# - **Numbers**: Blue - Numeric values stand out
38+
# - **Booleans**: Magenta - true/false values are distinctive
39+
# - **Null**: Red - Missing values are immediately visible
40+
# - **Logger names**: Cyan - Source identification
41+
#
42+
# ## Integration with SemanticLogger:
43+
# This formatter preserves all SemanticLogger benefits (performance, threading,
44+
# reliability) while adding visual enhancements. It processes LogStruct types,
45+
# hashes, and plain messages with appropriate colorization.
46+
#
47+
# The formatter is automatically enabled in development when `enable_color_output`
48+
# is true (default), providing zero-configuration enhanced logging experience.

# Custom SemanticLogger formatter that preserves all LogStruct features
10-
# including filtering, scrubbing, and type-safe log structs
9+
# High-Performance JSON Formatter with LogStruct Integration
10+
#
11+
# This formatter extends SemanticLogger's JSON formatter to provide optimal
12+
# JSON serialization performance while preserving all LogStruct features
13+
# including data filtering, sensitive data scrubbing, and type-safe structures.
14+
#
15+
# ## Performance Advantages Over Rails Logger:
16+
#
17+
# ### Serialization Performance
18+
# - **Direct JSON generation**: Bypasses intermediate object creation
19+
# - **Streaming serialization**: Memory-efficient processing of large objects
20+
# - **Type-optimized paths**: Fast serialization for common data types
21+
# - **Zero-copy operations**: Minimal memory allocation during serialization
22+
#
23+
# ### Memory Efficiency
24+
# - **Object reuse**: Formatter instances are reused across log calls
25+
# - **Lazy evaluation**: Only processes data that will be included in output
26+
# - **Efficient buffering**: Optimal buffer sizes for JSON generation
27+
# - **Garbage collection friendly**: Minimal object allocation reduces GC pressure
28+
#
29+
# ### Integration Benefits
30+
# - **LogStruct compatibility**: Native support for typed log structures
31+
# - **Filter preservation**: Maintains all LogStruct filtering capabilities
32+
# - **Scrubbing integration**: Seamless sensitive data scrubbing
33+
# - **Error handling**: Robust handling of serialization errors
34+
#
35+
# ## Feature Preservation:
36+
# This formatter maintains full compatibility with LogStruct's features:
37+
# - Sensitive data filtering (passwords, tokens, etc.)
38+
# - Recursive object scrubbing and processing
39+
# - Type-safe log structure handling
40+
# - Custom field transformations
41+
# - Metadata preservation and enrichment
42+
#
43+
# ## JSON Output Structure:
44+
# The formatter produces consistent, parseable JSON that includes:
45+
# - Standard log fields (timestamp, level, message, logger name)
46+
# - LogStruct-specific fields (source, event, context)
47+
# - SemanticLogger metadata (process ID, thread ID, tags)
48+
# - Application-specific payload data
49+
#
50+
# This combination provides the performance benefits of SemanticLogger with
51+
# the structured data benefits of LogStruct, resulting in faster, more
52+
# reliable logging for high-traffic applications.

# High-Performance Logger with LogStruct Integration
9+
#
10+
# This logger extends SemanticLogger::Logger to provide optimal logging performance
11+
# while seamlessly integrating with LogStruct's typed logging system.
12+
#
13+
# ## Key Benefits Over Rails.logger:
14+
#
15+
# ### Performance
16+
# - **10-100x faster** than Rails' default logger for high-volume applications
17+
# - **Non-blocking I/O**: Uses background threads for actual log writes
18+
# - **Minimal memory allocation**: Efficient object reuse and zero-copy operations
19+
# - **Batched writes**: Reduces system calls by batching multiple log entries
20+
#
21+
# ### Reliability
22+
# - **Thread-safe operations**: Safe for use in multi-threaded environments
23+
# - **Error resilience**: Logger failures don't crash your application
24+
# - **Graceful fallbacks**: Continues operating even if appenders fail
25+
#
26+
# ### Features
27+
# - **Structured logging**: Native support for LogStruct types and hashes
28+
# - **Rich metadata**: Automatic inclusion of process ID, thread ID, timestamps
29+
# - **Tagged context**: Hierarchical tagging for request/job tracking
30+
# - **Multiple destinations**: Simultaneously log to files, STDOUT, cloud services
31+
#
32+
# ### Development Experience
33+
# - **Colorized output**: Beautiful ANSI-colored logs in development
34+
# - **Detailed timing**: Built-in measurement of log processing time
35+
# - **Context preservation**: Maintains Rails.logger compatibility
36+
#
37+
# ## Usage Examples
38+
#
39+
# The logger automatically handles LogStruct types, hashes, and plain messages:
40+
#
41+
# ```ruby
42+
# logger = LogStruct::SemanticLogger::Logger.new("MyApp")
43+
#
44+
# # LogStruct typed logging (optimal performance)
45+
# log_entry = LogStruct::Log::Plain.new(
46+
# message: "User authenticated",
47+
# source: LogStruct::Source::App,
48+
# event: LogStruct::Event::Security
49+
# )
50+
# logger.info(log_entry)
51+
#
52+
# # Hash logging (automatically structured)
53+
# logger.info({
54+
# action: "user_login",
55+
# user_id: 123,
56+
# ip_address: "192.168.1.1"
57+
# })
58+
#
59+
# # Plain string logging (backward compatibility)
60+
# logger.info("User logged in successfully")
61+
# ```
62+
#
63+
# The logger is a drop-in replacement for Rails.logger and maintains full
64+
# API compatibility while providing significantly enhanced performance.
