Oh no! ... Please not yet another logging framework for Java! One of the most widespread issue with Java is that multiple Logging frameworks coexist and the community is fragmented, leading to all kind of complications. I guess this additional library would add one more brick to this disaster. Sorry.

I'm sure your talent could be spent on more useful things.

I think it's not a big problem as long as the specification of SLF4J is implemented

I have an immature idea.
I think the most big question is configuration, i can let Optilog control other logging framework's configuration.When you write Optilog's config file,Optilog auto generate configure file that other logging framework need(in runtime),that config is same as Optilog's configure file.If you change configure file,Optilog will change the configure file for other logging framework.
Maybe this idea is unrealistic...

Instead of making your logging library, I would ask two questions:

  • Why do we need yet another logging library?
  • Cannot we rather contribute to the existing ones?

First,because I want to make a better logging framework,that doesn't mean I think they are too bad.They have some problems.
problem example:
public class Test {
public static Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Test.class);
public static void main(String[] args) {
log.info("test in Test");
test2.t(log);
}
}
class test2 {
public static void t(Logger logger) {
logger.info("test in test2");
}
}

console:
[main] INFO com.test.Test - test in Test
[main] INFO com.test.Test - test in test2

Why second log in class test2 print class:com.test.Test?

I once want to contribute these logging framework.But if you see their pull request,you will know they will not access you.

It's not that we don't need to innovate when we have it on the market. Sometimes the existing framework can't meet our needs.

Brother, support you, you can also add Chinese descriptions in the project about, so that Chinese brothers can also search for it

No, I mean project about, it's where the GitHub search engine takes into account, like github.com/alibaba/GraphScope

I see.It's a good idea.
