Mikael Ståldal commented on LOG4J2-1528: ---------------------------------------- My impression is that XML is the "main" configuration format for Log4j 2. That's the impression you get from our documentation. I also prefer and always use XML config myself. I was able to do this XML serialization without any extra dependencies (using only standard Java APIs). I think it would be quite easy to do the same for JSON/YAML also, but that might bring in extra dependencies like Jackson (there are no standard Java APIs for JSON or YAML as far as I know). > Serialize configuration into a log4j2.xml file > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: LOG4J2-1528 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1528 > Project: Log4j 2 > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Configurators > Affects Versions: 2.6.2 > Reporter: Mikael Ståldal > Assignee: Mikael Ståldal > > This would be useful for e.g. converting from Log4j 1 to Log4j 2 config. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: log4j-dev-unsubscr...@logging.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: log4j-dev-h...@logging.apache.org
