Trace Values

The fields in a Span consist of tagged values of type TraceValue. Natchez supports three data types, which seem to be commonly supported by tracing back ends. You can construct them explicitly, or via the provided implicit conversions (no import necessary).

• Tracevalue.StringValue("foo") or just "foo" via implicit conversion;
• TraceValue.BooleanValue(true) or just true; and
• TraceValue.NumberValue(1.23) or just 1.23.

Note that NumberValue accepts any java.lang.Number.

See the spans reference for examples of adding trace values.
