### Example Usage

First create a `logging.Client` to use throughout your application:
[snip]:# (logging-1)

```go
ctx := context.Background()
client, err := logging.NewClient(ctx, "my-project")
if err != nil {
   // TODO: Handle error.
}
```

Usually, you'll want to add log entries to a buffer to be periodically flushed
(automatically and asynchronously) to the Cloud Logging service.
[snip]:# (logging-2)

```go
logger := client.Logger("my-log")
logger.Log(logging.Entry{Payload: "something happened!"})
```

Close your client before your program exits, to flush any buffered log entries.
[snip]:# (logging-3)

```go
err = client.Close()
if err != nil {
   // TODO: Handle error.
}
```
