### Structured telemetry library for Clojure/Script
**Telemere** is a next-generation replacement for [Timbre](https://www.taoensso.com/timbre). It handles **structured and traditional logging**, **tracing**, and **basic performance monitoring** with a simple unified API.
**Telemere** is a next-generation replacement for [Timbre](https://www.taoensso.com/timbre) that offers a simple **unified API** for **structured and traditional logging**, **tracing**, and **basic performance monitoring**.
It helps enable Clojure/Script systems that are **observable**, **robust**, and **debuggable** - and it represents the refinement and culmination of ideas brewing over 12+ years in [Timbre](https://www.taoensso.com/timbre), [Tufte](https://www.taoensso.com/tufte), [Truss](https://www.taoensso.com/truss), etc.

Telemere's functionality is a **superset of Timbre**, and offers *many* improvements including:
- Improved performance
- Better support for structured logging
- A cleaner and more flexible API
- Much better documentation
- Better built-in handlers
- Easier configuration in many cases
- A more robust architecture, free from all historical constraints
- Better support for [structured logging](./1-Getting-started#data-types-and-structures)
- Better [performance](https://github.com/taoensso/telemere#benchmarks)
- Better [documentation](https://github.com/taoensso/telemere#documentation)
- Better [included handlers](./4-Handlers##included-handlers)
- A more flexible [API](./1-Getting-started#usage) that unifies all telemetry and logging needs
- A more robust [architecture](./2-Architecture), free from all historical constraints
- Easier [configuration](./3-Config)
Migrating from Timbre to Telemere should be straightforward **unless you depend on specific/custom appenders** that might not be available for Telemere (yet).

1. I have some particular needs, including very complex and large-scale applications that benefit from the kind of flexibility that Telemere offers re: filtering, dispatch, environmental config, lazy (post-filter) evaluation, etc.
2. I have some particular tastes re: my ideal API.
3. I wanted something that integrated particularly well with [Tufte](https://taoensso.com/tufte) and could share an identical API for filtering, handlers, etc.
4. I wanted a modern replacement for [Timbre](https://www.taoensso.com/timbre) users that offered a superset of its functionality and easy migration path.
