 # 🧳 Distributed Tracing Baggage Core

 `Baggage` is a minimal (zero-dependency) context propagation container, intended to "carry" baggage items
 for purposes of cross-cutting tools to be built on top of it.
 
 It is modeled after the concepts explained in [W3C Baggage](https://w3c.github.io/baggage/) and the

+## Dependency
 
-## Dependencies
-
-It should be noted that most libraries and frameworks do NOT need to depend on this package explicitly,
-but rather should depend on [Swift Distributed Tracing Baggage](https://github.com/apple/swift-distributed-tracing-baggage) or [Swift Distributed Tracing](https://github.com/apple/swift-distributed-tracing) which will pull the
-`CoreBaggage` via their transitive dependencies. This package and the `CoreBaggage` module exist only for
-libraries which want to maintain an absolutely minimal dependency footprint, and e.g. do not want to depend on `Logging` modules, which the higher level packages may do.

-## Installation

-You can install the `BaggageContext` library through the Swift Package Manager. The library itself is called `Baggage`,
-so that's what you'd import in your Swift files.
