 ## Features
 
-### Meta data
+### Metadata
 
 When messages are added to the log, additional data about the message is kept in a Lumberjack::LogEntry. This means you don't need to worry about adding the time or process id to your log messages as they will be automatically recorded.
 
 The following information is recorded for each message:
 
-* severity - The severity recorded for the message.
-* time - The time at which the message was recorded.
-* program name - The name of the program logging the message. This can be either set for all messages or customized with each message.
-* process id - The process id (pid) of the process that logged the message.
-* tags - An map of name value pairs for addition information about the log context.
+- severity - The severity recorded for the message.
+- time - The time at which the message was recorded.

 ### Tags

+The block opens up a new tag context. The context applies only within a block and only for the currently executing thread. You can also open up a new context block without specifying any tags and then add tags to the context within the block.

 You can also set tags to `Proc` objects that will be evaluated when creating a log entry.
 
 ```ruby
-logger.tag(thread_id: lambda { Thread.current.object_id })
+logger.tag_globally(thread_id: lambda { Thread.current.object_id })

   logger.info("inside thread") # Will include the `thread_id` tag with id of the spawned thread

+Finally, you can specify a global logging context that applies to all loggers.

 Lumberjack.context do

   logger.info("begin request") # Will include the `request_id` tag
+  event_logger.info("http.request") # Will also include the `request_id` tag
 end
 logger.info("no requests") # Will not include the `request_id` tag
 ```
 
 Tag keys are always converted to strings. Tags are inherited so that message tags take precedence over block tags which take precedence over global tags.
 
+#### Structured Logging with Tags
+
+Tags are particularly powerful for structured logging, where you want to capture machine-readable data alongside human-readable log messages. Instead of embedding variable data directly in log messages (which makes parsing difficult), you can use tags to separate the static message from the dynamic data.
+
+```ruby
+# Instead of this (harder to parse)
+logger.info("User john_doe logged in from IP 192.168.1.100 in 0.25 seconds")
+
+# Do this (structured and parseable)
+logger.info("User logged in", {
+  user_id: "john_doe",
+  ip_address: "192.168.1.100",
+  duration: 0.25,
+  action: "login"
+})
+```
+
+This approach provides several benefits:
+
+- **Consistent message format** - The base message stays the same while data varies
+- **Easy filtering and searching** - You can search by specific tag values
+- **Better analytics** - Aggregate data by tag values (e.g., average login duration)
+- **Machine processing** - Automated systems can easily extract and process tag data
+
+You can also use nested structures in tags for complex data:
+
+```ruby
+logger.info("API request completed", {
+  request: {
+    method: "POST",
+    path: "/api/users",
+    user_agent: request.user_agent
+  },
+  response: {
+    status: 201,
+    duration_ms: 150
+  },
+  user: {
+    id: current_user.id,
+    role: current_user.role
+  }
+})
+```
+
+When combined with structured output devices (like [`lumberjack_json_device`](https://github.com/bdurand/lumberjack_json_device)), this creates logs that are both human-readable and machine-processable, making them ideal for log aggregation systems, monitoring, and analytics.

 ### Pluggable Devices
 
 When a Logger logs a LogEntry, it sends it to a Lumberjack::Device. Lumberjack comes with a variety of devices for logging to IO streams or files.
 
-* Lumberjack::Device::Writer - Writes log entries to an IO stream.
-* Lumberjack::Device::LogFile - Writes log entries to a file.
-* Lumberjack::Device::DateRollingLogFile - Writes log entries to a file that will automatically roll itself based on date.

-* Lumberjack::Device::Multi - This device wraps mulitiple other devices and will write log entries to each of them.
-* Lumberjack::Device::Null - This device produces no output and is intended for testing environments.

 ### Customize Formatting
 
 #### Formatters
 
-The message you send to the logger can be any object type and does not need to be a string. You can specify a `Lumberjack::Formatter` to instruct the logger how to format objects before outputting them to the device. You do this by mapping classes or modules to formatter code. This code can be either a block or an object that responds to the `call` method. The formatter will be called with the object logged as the message and the returned value will be what is sent to the device.

 To define your own formatter, either provide a block or an object that responds to `call` with a single argument.
 
+#### Default Formatter
+
+The default formatter is applied to all objects being logged. This includes both messages and tags.
+
 The default formatter will pass through values for strings, numbers, and booleans, and use the `:inspect` formatter for all objects except for exceptions which will be formatted with the `:exception` formatter.
 
+#### Message Formatter
+
+You can add a formatter for just the log message with the `message_formatter` method. This formatter will only apply to the message and not to any tags.
+
+```ruby
+logger.message_formatter.add(String, :truncate, 1000)  # Will truncate all string messages to 1000 characters
+```
+
+##### Extracting Tags from Messages
+
+If you are using structured logging, you can use a formatter to extract tags from the log message by adding a formatter that returns a `Lumberjack::Formatter::TaggedMessage`. For example, if you want to extract metadata from exceptions and add them as tags, you could do this:
+
+```ruby
+logger.message_formatter.add(Exception, ->(e) {
+  Lumberjack::Formatter::TaggedMessage.new(e.inspect, {
+    "error.message": e.message,
+    "error.class": e.class.name,
+    "error.trace": e.backtrace
+  })
+})
+
+logger.error(exception)  # Will log the exception and add tags for the message, class, and trace.
+```
+
 #### Tag Formatters
 
-The `logger.formatter` will only apply to log messages. You can use `logger.tag_formatter` to register formatters for tags. You can register both default formatters that will apply to all tag values, as well as tag specifice formatters that will apply only to objects with a specific tag name.

Log entries are not guaranteed to be written until the Lumberjack::Logger#flush method is called. Buffering can improve performance if I/O is slow or there is high overhead writing to the log device.
 
 You can use the `:flush_seconds` option on the logger to periodically flush the log. This is usually a good idea so you can more easily debug hung processes. Without periodic flushing, a process that hangs may never write anything to the log because the messages are sitting in a buffer. By turning on periodic flushing, the logged messages will be written which can greatly aid in debugging the problem.

+## Differences from Standard Library Logger
+
+`Lumberjack::Logger` does not extend from the `Logger` class in the standard library, but it does implement a compatible API. The main difference is in the flow of how messages are ultimately sent to devices for output.
 
 The standard library Logger logic converts the log entries to strings and then sends the string to the device to be written to a stream. Lumberjack, on the other hand, sends structured data in the form of a `Lumberjack::LogEntry` to the device and lets the device worry about how to format it. The reason for this flip is to better support structured data logging. Devices (even ones that write to streams) can format the entire payload including non-string objects and tags however they need to.
