PrettyTerm-rs

PrettyTerm is a standalone logging and terminal visualization library for structured applications. Unlike general-purpose logging facades, it provides component-based logging with built-in formatting styles and tree visualization - perfect for compilers, build tools, and structured CLI applications

Design Philosophy

1. Component-based: Each log knows where it came from (file, function, path)
2. Zero-config: Works out of the box, settings are optional
3. Standalone: Does not require integration with other logging systems
4. Visual-first: Priority on readability and output structure
5. Compiler-friendly: Designed for compilers, build systems, and CLI utilities

When should I use PrettyTerm?

Use it if:

• You are writing a compiler/transpiler
• Are you creating a build system or a task runner
• We need a component logger with a context
• We need a tree view of the stages
• Do you want a beautiful output without customization

Do not use it if:

• You are writing a library (preferably a log trace)
• We need log rotation and complex configuration (better than log4rs)
• We need structured logging with JSON (better than tracing)
• We need async logging (better than tracing or slog)
