Chealer opened a new issue, #1474:
URL: https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/issues/1474

   log4j-api [has the following name and 
description](https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/blob/2.x/log4j-api/pom.xml#LL27C1-L28C50):
   ```
     <name>Apache Log4j API</name>
     <description>The Apache Log4j API</description>
   ```
   
   This is at least incomplete, as shown by [this 
discussion](https://stackoverflow.com/a/76159299/5405434). Log4j developer 
Piotr P. Karwasz indicates that log4j-api provides a simple Log4j provider, 
[SimpleLogger](https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/tree/2.x/log4j-api/src/main/java/org/apache/logging/log4j/simple).
 I did not verify that and it is pretty much undocumented, but it is reportedly 
equivalent to slf4j-simple, except for being built in log4j-api.
   
   I know little about Log4j, but considering that, I suggest replacing 
log4j-api's description with the following would make it much more 
complete/accurate:
   
   > Apache Log4j's logging facade API specification. A simple implementation 
(SimpleLogger) is built-in.
