# Stack trace formatter

Turn a stack trace squashed into one line back into readable frames, with framework frames folded away.

## How it works

Traces in logs often arrive as one line with escaped line breaks. Splitting them on each frame and hiding framework frames leaves the lines in your own code.

## Questions

### Which frames are hidden?

.NET System and Microsoft frames, node_modules and Node internals, Java and Spring frames, and Python site-packages.

### Where is the real cause?

Usually the first frame in your own code, and the innermost exception.
