Apache Log4j API provides the interface that applications should code to and provides the adapter components required for implementers to create a logging implementation. Apache Log4j API is a required module to use Apache Log4j.

Bytecode (Java 8) for Apache Log4j API is provided in a separate JAR file like log4j-api-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.

You can also browse Source Code files for Apache Log4j API 2.14.1 below.

/**
 * Levels used for identifying the severity of an event. Levels are organized from most specific to least:
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link #OFF} (most specific, no logging)</li>
 * <li>{@link #FATAL} (most specific, little data)</li>
 * <li>{@link #ERROR}</li>
 * <li>{@link #WARN}</li>
 * <li>{@link #INFO}</li>
 * <li>{@link #DEBUG}</li>
 * <li>{@link #TRACE} (least specific, a lot of data)</li>
 * <li>{@link #ALL} (least specific, all data)</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * Typically, configuring a level in a filter or on a logger will cause logging events of that level and those that are
 * more specific to pass through the filter. A special level, {@link #ALL}, is guaranteed to capture all levels when
 * used in logging configurations.
