-
-This is propagator for the B3 HTTP header format, which sends a `SpanContext` on the wire in an HTTP request, allowing other services to create spans with the right context. Based on: <https://github.com/openzipkin/b3-propagation>

 #### Composite Propagator
 
 Combines multiple propagators into a single propagator.

+
+      "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical

+

+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,

+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:

+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.

+# OpenTelemetry Propagator B3
+
+[![Gitter chat][gitter-image]][gitter-url]
+[![NPM Published Version][npm-img]][npm-url]
+[![dependencies][dependencies-image]][dependencies-url]
+[![devDependencies][devdependencies-image]][devdependencies-url]
+[![Apache License][license-image]][license-image]
+
+The OpenTelemetry b3 propagator package provides multiple propagator
+implementations for systems using the b3 context format. See the
+[b3 specification][b3-spec] for complete details.
+
+## B3 Formats
+
+Single-Header Format:
+
+```bash
+b3: {TraceId}-{SpanId}-{SamplingState}-{ParentSpanId}
+```
+
+Multi-Header Format:
+
+```bash
+X-B3-TraceId: {TraceId}
+X-B3-SpanId: {SpanId}
+X-B3-ParentSpanId: {ParentSpanId}
+X-B3-Sampled: {SamplingState}
+```
+
+- {TraceId}
+
+  - Required
+  - Encoded as 32 or 16 lower-hex characters
+  - 16 character traceIds will be converted to 32 characters by left-padding
+    with 0s to conform with the [OpenTelemetry specification][otel-spec-id-format]
+
+- {SpanId}
+
+  - Required
+  - Encoded as 16 lower-hex characters
+
+- {ParentSpanId}
+
+  - Optional
+  - Used to support the Zipkin functionality where the client and server spans
+    that make up an HTTP request share the same id
+  - Not propagated by this library
+
+- {SamplingState} - Single-header
+
+  - Optional
+  - Valid values
+    - 1 - Accept
+    - 0 - Deny
+    - d - Debug
+    - Absent - Defer sampling decision
+
+- {SamplingState} - Multi-header
+
+  - Optional
+  - Valid values
+    - 1 - Accept
+    - 0 - Deny
+
+- {Flags} - Multi-header
+  - Optional
+  - Debug is encoded as `X-B3-Flags`: 1. Absent or any other value can be ignored. Debug implies an accept decision, so don't also send the `X-B3-Sampled` header.
+
+## Propagator Implementations
+
+### B3Propagator
+
+The default `B3Propagator` implements b3 propagation according to the
+[OpenTelemetry specification][otel-b3-requirements]. It extracts b3 context
+from multi and single header encodings and injects context using the
+single-header b3 encoding. The inject encoding can be changed to multi-header
+via configuration.
+
+Example usage (default):
+
+```javascript
+const api = require('@opentelemetry/api');
+const { B3Propagator } = require('@opentelemetry/propagator-b3');
+
+api.propagation.setGlobalPropagator(new B3Propagator());
+```
+
+Example usage (specify inject encoding):
+
+```javascript
+const api = require('@opentelemetry/api');
+const { B3Propagator } = require('@opentelemetry/propagator-b3');
+
+api.propagation.setGlobalPropagator(
+  new B3Propagator({ injectEncoding: B3InjectEncoding.MULTI_HEADER })
+);
+```
+
+### B3SinglePropagator
+
+If a distributed system only needs support for the b3 single-header
+encoding it can use the `B3SinglePropagator` directly.
+
+Example usage:
+
+```javascript
+const api = require('@opentelemetry/api');
+const { B3SinglePropagator } = require('@opentelemetry/propagator-b3');
+
+api.propagation.setGlobalPropagator(new B3SinglePropagator());
+```
+
+### B3MultiPropagator
+
+If a distributed system only needs support for the b3 multi-header
+encoding it can use the `B3MultiPropagator` directly.
+
+Example usage:
+
+```javascript
+const api = require('@opentelemetry/api');
+const { B3MultiPropagator } = require('@opentelemetry/propagator-b3');
+
+api.propagation.setGlobalPropagator(new B3MultiPropagator());
+```
+
+### CompositePropagator
+
+If a distributed system needs to support both single and multiple header
+encodings for inject and extract the `B3SinglePropagator` and
+`B3MultiPropagator` can be used in conjunction with a `CompositePropagator`.
+
+Example usage:
+
+```javascript
+const api = require('@opentelemetry/api');
+const { CompositePropagator } = require('@opentelemetry/core');
+const {
+  B3SinglePropagator,
+  B3MultiPropagator,
+} = require('@opentelemetry/propagator-b3');
+
+api.propagation.setGlobalPropagator(
+  new CompositePropagator({
+    propagators: [new B3SinglePropagator(), new B3MultiPropagator()],
+  })
+);
+```
