SLF4J API Source Code

SLF4J API is a simple API that allows to plug in any desired logging library at deployment time.

Here is the source code for SLF4J API 2.0.4. You can download its pre-compiled version slf4j-api-2.0.4.jar at SLF4J Download Website.

/**
 * The org.slf4j.Logger interface is the main user entry point of SLF4J API.
 * It is expected that logging takes place through concrete implementations
 * of this interface.
 * 
 * <H3>Typical usage pattern:</H3>
 * <pre>
 * import org.slf4j.Logger;
 * import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
 *
 * public class Wombat {
 *
 *   <span style="color:green">final static Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Wombat.class);</span>
 *   Integer t;
 *   Integer oldT;
 *
 *   public void setTemperature(Integer temperature) {

 *       <span style="color:green">logger.info("Temperature has risen above 50 degrees.");</span>
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>Note that version 2.0 of the SLF4J API introduces a <a href="../../../manual.html#fluent">fluent api</a>,
 * the most significant API change to occur in the last 20 years.
 *
 * <p>Be sure to read the FAQ entry relating to <a href="../../../faq.html#logging_performance">parameterized
 * logging</a>. Note that logging statements can be parameterized in
 * <a href="../../../faq.html#paramException">presence of an exception/throwable</a>.
 *
 * <p>Once you are comfortable using loggers, i.e. instances of this interface, consider using
 * <a href="MDC.html">MDC</a> as well as <a href="Marker.html">Markers</a>.
