How do I set up Logrus and Zap for logging in my Go application?

To set up Logrus and Zap, you'll first need to install both packages using Go modules. You can do this by running go get github.com/sirupsen/logrus and go get go.uber.org/zap.

What are the main differences between Logrus and Zap?

Logrus is a structured logger for Go, while Zap is known for its performance and low allocation overhead. Zap is generally faster, especially in high-throughput scenarios.

Can you show me a basic example of using both Logrus and Zap?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

package main

import (
    "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
    "go.uber.org/zap"
)

func main() {
    // Logrus example
    logrus.Info("This is a Logrus log")

    // Zap example
    logger, _ := zap.NewProduction()
    defer logger.Sync()
    logger.Info("This is a Zap log")
}
