Any benefits over amandasaurus / apache-log-parser?

They both seem to be quite similar, you could elevate this project by showing better performance or edge cases that are handled better by this project

I believe this is the first I've heard of apache-log-parser. Some of the features I see that apachelogs has that apache-log-parser doesn't seem to:

• apachelogs can piece together a full timestamp from various different %{*}t formats
• apachelogs allows looking up parsed fields by both name (entry.request_time) and directive (entry.directives["%t"])
• apachelogs provides constants for some of the most common log formats
• apachelogs unescapes escape sequences in strings
• apachelogs supports a few directives that apache-log-parser does not, like %{name}c and %{ms}T

I'm not about to do performance testing, but both libraries work by converting log formats to regexes, so their performance is likely to be roughly the same.
