Yes, OpenTracing is an API, with bindings currently available in 9 languages. Please take a look. http://opentracing.io/ http://opentracing.io/

  Only the semantics and libraries implementing them are there. The wire format is not specified, which is a pretty annoying problem to deal with.

    It's weird for most people. We're used to cross-language wire protocols. OpenTracing is different. An analogy is SLF4J for Java logging. All libraries, etc use the same interface and the final user determines the backend: java.util, Logback. This makes sense if you have many authors of libraries with a cross-cutting concern. This really makes OpenTracing half a dozen different standards, one per language, with common semantics. Should it be about a wire protocol instead?
