Jaeger Client Utility

A lightweight wrapper around the Jaeger client (opentracing) that simplifies tracing setup and span management for Node.js services. Current stable version is 1.0.1 (last updated 2020). It provides a simple API to initialize the tracer, start spans, and inject/extract context for distributed tracing. This package is a thin layer over the official jaeger-client library, intended for quick integration but may lack flexibility for advanced use cases. No breaking changes documented; the package relies on opentracing as a peer dependency. Compared to the official jaeger-client, it reduces boilerplate but hides configuration options like sampling and reporter settings.
