Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-2147: ------------------------------------- The Apache Logging project doesn't have a preference for the format of the configuration file. You can safely use any of the supported types. I personally prefer xml as I find it the most readable. Others prefer JSON or YAML. Some users really like properties files so we support that too. > What is Apache's recommendation to use file type for configuration > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: LOG4J2-2147 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2147 > Project: Log4j 2 > Issue Type: Question > Reporter: Varun Sharma > Priority: Minor > > Hi, > I am setting up Log4j 2 for a new project.
