     * The serializers provided to `pino` are ignored by default in the browser, including the standard
     * serializers provided with Pino. Since the default destination for log messages is the console, values
     * such as `Error` objects are enhanced for inspection, which they otherwise wouldn't be if the Error
     * serializer was enabled. We can turn all serializers on or we can selectively enable them via an array.
     *
     * When `serialize` is `true` the standard error serializer is also enabled (see
     * {@link https://github.com/pinojs/pino/blob/master/docs/api.md#pino-stdserializers}). This is a global
     * serializer which will apply to any `Error` objects passed to the logger methods.
     *
     * If `serialize` is an array the standard error serializer is also automatically enabled, it can be
     * explicitly disabled by including a string in the serialize array: `!stdSerializers.err` (see example).
     *
     * The `serialize` array also applies to any child logger serializers (see
     * {@link https://github.com/pinojs/pino/blob/master/docs/api.md#bindingsserializers-object} for how to
     * set child-bound serializers).
     *
     * Unlike server pino the serializers apply to every object passed to the logger method, if the `asObject`
     * option is `true`, this results in the serializers applying to the first object (as in server pino).

• An object mapping to hook functions. Hook functions allow for customizing internal logger operations. Hook functions must be synchronous functions.

property levelComparison

levelComparison?:
    | 'ASC'
    | 'DESC'
    | ((current: number, expected: number) => boolean);

• Use this option to define custom comparison of log levels. Useful to compare custom log levels or non-standard level values. Default: "ASC"

property levelVal

• When defining a custom log level via level, set to an integer value to define the new level. Default: undefined.

property mixinMergeStrategy

mixinMergeStrategy?: MixinMergeStrategyFn;

• If provided, the mixinMergeStrategy function is called each time one of the active logging methods is called. The first parameter is the value mergeObject or an empty object, the second parameter is the value resulting from mixin() or an empty object. The function must synchronously return an object.

  Each path must be a string using a syntax which corresponds to JavaScript dot and bracket notation.

  If an object is supplied, three options can be specified:

  paths (String[]): Required. An array of paths censor (String): Optional. A value to overwrite key which are to be redacted. Default: '[Redacted]' remove (Boolean): Optional. Instead of censoring the value, remove both the key and the value. Default: false

property safe

safe?: boolean;

• Avoid error causes by circular references in the object tree. Default: true.

property serializers

serializers?: { [key: string]: SerializerFn };

• an object containing functions for custom serialization of objects. These functions should return an JSONifiable object and they should never throw. When logging an object, each top-level property matching the exact key of a serializer will be serialized using the defined serializer.

property timestamp

timestamp?: TimeFn | boolean;

• Enables or disables the inclusion of a timestamp in the log message. If a function is supplied, it must synchronously return a JSON string representation of the time. If set to false, no timestamp will be included in the output. See stdTimeFunctions for a set of available functions for passing in as a value for this option. Caution: any sort of formatted time will significantly slow down Pino's performance.

property transport

    | TransportSingleOptions
    | TransportMultiOptions
    | TransportPipelineOptions;

property useOnlyCustomLevels

useOnlyCustomLevels?: boolean;
