go.opentelemetry.io/otel (go): Package otel provides global access to the OpenTelemetry API. The subpackages of the otel package provide an implementation of the OpenTelemetry API.  The provided API is used to instrument code and measure data about that code's performance and operation. The measured data, by default, is not processed or transmitted anywhere. An implementation of the OpenTelemetry SDK, like the default SDK implementation (go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk), and associated exporters are used to process and transport this data.  To read the getting started guide, see https://opentelemetry.io/docs/go/getting-started/.  To read more about tracing, see go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace.  To read more about metrics, see go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric.  To read more about propagation, see go.opentelemetry.io/otel/propagation and go.opentelemetry.io/otel/baggage.
