16Package propagation contains OpenTelemetry context propagators.
17
18This package is currently in a pre-GA phase. Backwards incompatible changes
19may be introduced in subsequent minor version releases as we work to track the
20evolving OpenTelemetry specification and user feedback.
21
22OpenTelemetry propagators are used to extract and inject context data from and
23into messages exchanged by applications. The propagator supported by this
24package is the W3C Trace Context encoding
25(https://www.w3.org/TR/trace-context/), and W3C Baggage
26(https://w3c.github.io/baggage/).
