Apache Log4j Core Implementation provides the functional components of the logging system. Users are free to create their own plugins and include them in the logging configuration. Apache Log4j Core is a required module to use Apache Log4j.

Bytecode (Java 8) for Apache Log4j Core Implementation is provided in a separate JAR file like log4j-core-2.14.1.jar.

Source Code files for Apache Log4j API are provided in both binary packge like apache-log4j-2.14.1-bin.zip and source package like apache-log4j-2.14.1-src.zip. You can download them at Apache Log4j Website.

/**
 * Appends a series of {@code event} elements as defined in the <a href="log4j.dtd">log4j.dtd</a>.
 *
 * <h3>Complete well-formed XML vs. fragment XML</h3>
 * <p>
 * If you configure {@code complete="true"}, the appender outputs a well-formed XML document where the default namespace
 * is the log4j namespace {@value XmlConstants#XML_NAMESPACE}. By default, with {@code complete="false"}, you should
 * include the output as an <em>external entity</em> in a separate file to form a well-formed XML document.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * If {@code complete="false"}, the appender does not write the XML processing instruction and the root element.
 * </p>
 * <h3>Encoding</h3>
 * <p>
 * Appenders using this layout should have their {@code charset} set to {@code UTF-8} or {@code UTF-16}, otherwise
 * events containing non-ASCII characters could result in corrupted log files.
 * </p>
 * <h3>Pretty vs. compact XML</h3>
 * <p>
 * By default, the XML layout is not compact (compact = not "pretty") with {@code compact="false"}, which means the
 * appender uses end-of-line characters and indents lines to format the XML. If {@code compact="true"}, then no
 * end-of-line or indentation is used. Message content may contain, of course, end-of-lines.
 * </p>
 * <h3>Additional Fields</h3>
 * <p>
 * This property allows addition of custom fields into generated JSON.
 * {@code <XmlLayout><KeyValuePair key="foo" value="bar"/></XmlLayout>} inserts {@code <foo>bar</foo>} directly
 * into XML output. Supports Lookup expressions.
 * </p>
