Layouts are components responsible for transforming a logging event into a string.
More often than not, users wish to customize not only the output destination but also the output format. This is accomplished by associating a layout with an appender. All messages logged by that appender will use the given layout.
The following layout classes are available:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| LoggerLayoutHTML | Outputs events in a HTML table. |
| LoggerLayoutPattern | A flexible layout configurable via a pattern string. |
| LoggerLayoutSimple | A simple, non configurable layout. |
| LoggerLayoutSerialized | Outputs serialized objects. |
| LoggerLayoutTTCC | Consists of Time, Thread, Category and nested diagnostic Context. DEPRECATED |
| LoggerLayoutXml | Outputs events as an XML document. |
