LogTape: A Library-First Approach to JavaScript Logging

Logging in JavaScript libraries presents a challenge: providing useful debugging functionality while respecting user choices. LogTape offers a unique solution with a "library-first" design. It's completely transparent until logging is explicitly configured; no output or side effects occur otherwise. When enabled, all LogTape-enabled libraries are managed through a unified configuration system. It's zero-dependency, supports both ESM and CommonJS, works consistently across various runtimes, and boasts impressive performance. LogTape aims to provide developers with a more flexible and lightweight logging solution while respecting users' existing logging systems.
