Compliance of Implementations with Specification

The following tables show which features are implemented by each OpenTelemetry language implementation.

+ means the feature is supported, - means it is not supported, N/A means the feature is not applicable to the particular language, blank cell means the status of the feature is not known.

For the Optional column, X means the feature is optional, blank means the feature is required, and columns marked with * mean that for each type of exporter (OTLP, Zipkin, and Jaeger), implementing at least one of the supported formats is required. Implementing more than one format is optional.
