Here’s the translation of the Go logging example to Java, formatted in Markdown for Hugo:
Our first program demonstrates various logging techniques in Java. We’ll use the built-in java.util.logging package for basic logging and the popular org.slf4j with logback for more advanced, structured logging.
This Java example demonstrates various logging techniques:
We start by using the default Java logger.
We then configure the logger to include microseconds in its output.
Next, we set up the logger to include the source file and line number.
We create a custom logger with a specific name.
We demonstrate how to change the format of an existing logger.
We show how to log to a custom output (in this case, a ByteArrayOutputStream).
Finally, we use SLF4J for structured logging, which is similar to the slog package in the original example.
To run this program, you’ll need to include the SLF4J and Logback libraries in your classpath. You might also need to configure Logback for JSON output to fully replicate the slog JSON output from the original example.
The output will vary depending on the exact time the program is run, but it will look something like this:
Note that the exact output format for the SLF4J logger will depend on your Logback configuration.
