Libraries supported for tracing

All of these libraries are supported by our Application Performance Monitoring tool.

Usage

1. Check if your library is supported (i.e. you find it in this directory).
   ex: if you're using the net/http package for your server, you see it's present in this directory.

2. In your app, replace your import by our traced version of the library.
   ex:

import "net/http"

becomes

import "github.com/DataDog/dd-trace-go/contrib/net/http"

1. Read through the example_test.go present in each folder of the libraries to understand how to trace your app.
   ex: for net/http, see net/http/example_test.go

Contribution guidelines

1. Follow the package naming convention

If a library looks like this: github.com/user/lib, the contribution must looks like this user/lib. In the case of the standard library, just use the path after src. E.g. src/database/sql becomes database/sql.

2. Respect the original API

Keep the original names for exported functions, don't use the prefix or suffix trace. E.g. prefer Open instead of OpenTrace.

Of course you can modify the number of arguments of a function if you need to pass the tracer for example.
