The Java Logging Battleground Gets Two New Updates

 New releases of two popular APIs update Java's logging battleground. Battleground because there are two front runners. The two APIs in question are SLF4J 2.0.0 and Log4j 2.19.0.


First of all, let's meet them both. SLF4J stands for Simple Logging Facade for Java and is an interface for various logging backend frameworks like java.util.logging, logback, log4j and log4j2 so that applications can use any of them interchangeably without changing code.


However, despite SLF4J's portability and in order to work with it, each backend framework requires a specific config file, something that has raised question of whether SLF4J is actually that useful; if that is the case why not just go straight for an implementation like log4j directly, forgoing SLF4J completely? It's a valid argument, but the real value of SLF4J is for people producing libraries and you don't want to force a specific logging framework onto your clients. The SLF4J abstraction allows the consumer to choose an implementation.
