**Note: This package is intended for internal use only.**
**Note: This is an experimental package under active development. New releases may include breaking changes.**
This package provides everything needed to serialize [OpenTelemetry SDK][sdk] traces, metrics and logs into the [OpenTelemetry Protocol][otlp] format.
## Quick Start
To get started you will need to install a compatible OpenTelemetry API.
### Install Peer Dependencies
```sh
npm install @opentelemetry/api
```
### Serialize Traces/Metrics/Logs
This module exports functions to serialize traces, metrics and logs from the OpenTelemetry SDK into protocol buffers which can be sent over HTTP to the OpenTelemetry collector or a compatible receiver.
```typescript
import {
createExportTraceServiceRequest,
createExportMetricsServiceRequest,
createExportLogsServiceRequest,
} from '@opentelemetry/otlp-transformer';
const serializedSpans = createExportTraceServiceRequest(readableSpans);
const serializedMetrics = createExportMetricsServiceRequest(readableMetrics);
const serializedLogs = createExportLogsServiceRequest(readableLogRecords);
```
