Here’s the translation of the Go logging example to Java, formatted in Markdown suitable for Hugo:
Our logging example demonstrates how to use Java’s built-in logging capabilities, primarily focusing on the java.util.logging package for free-form output and the org.json.JSONObject for structured output (simulating the slog package’s JSON functionality).
To run this program, you’ll need to include the org.json library in your classpath. You can download it from JSON-java or use a dependency management tool like Maven or Gradle.
Sample output; the date and time emitted will depend on when the example ran:
This Java example demonstrates various logging techniques, including:
Using the standard logger
Configuring log output format
Creating custom loggers
Writing logs to different outputs
Structured logging using JSON
Note that Java’s built-in logging is not as feature-rich as Go’s slog package, so we’ve used a JSON library to simulate structured logging. In a real-world application, you might want to consider using a more robust logging framework like SLF4J with Logback or Log4j2, which offer more advanced features and better performance.
