The binary log component provides a wrapper around https://github.com/p-ranav/binary_log for enabling compact binary logging of basic integer, floating point, and string data types.

This component simply exposes the p-ranav/binary_log binary logger, with some modifications in a fork finger563/binary_log to allow packer customization as is required on embedded systems such as with ESP-IDF.

The binary-log does not support all datatypes, but only some base datatypes such as integer types, float types, and string types.

The logger produces the following data:

1. Log data - these are indexes and the arguments which point to either the index data or the runfile data.
2. Index data - these are static data (format strings, constant arguments, etc.)
3. Runfile data - these are indices of the log file which run multiple times in a row.

For more information about the logging, its format, and the types supported, please see p-ranav/binary_log.

The example shows how to use the binary-log component to format and store logs in a binary packed form, either to disk or into a ringbuffer in memory.
