Basic Usage

Here's a simple example of how to use Simple Logger:

import com.logging.Logger;
import com.logging.core.LogLevel;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("MyLogger");

        logger.error("This is an error message");
    }
}

Advanced Configuration

You can configure the logger with different formatters and outputs:

import com.logging.Logger;
import com.logging.core.LogConfig;
import com.logging.core.LogLevel;
import com.logging.formatter.JsonFormatter;
import com.logging.output.FileOutput;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        LogConfig config = LogConfig.builder()
                .setMinimumLevel(LogLevel.DEBUG)
                .setFormatter(new JsonFormatter())
                .addOutput(new FileOutput("logs/application.log"))
                .build();

        Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("ConfiguredLogger", config);
        logger.debug("This is a debug message");
    }
