Matt Sicker commented on LOG4J2-1651:
-------------------------------------
That's the in-memory format. The serialised format is flattened out by writing
the number of categories, then for each category, the name is written, then the
number of plugins in the category, then the plugin info for each category. See
{{PluginCache}} for more detailed info.
> Makes the dat format more user friendly

> The dat format used by the plugin is not that friendly when users want to
> shade log4j2 and manual manipulation is hard and require some advanced shade
> ability (concretely you need to write your own PluginCache serialization if
> you select a subpart of log4j2 to go in your shade)
> Would be great to provide an easier and smoother way to do that.
