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.

 * The anchor point for the Log4j logging system. The most common usage of this class is to obtain a named
 * {@link Logger}. The method {@link #getLogger()} is provided as the most convenient way to obtain a named Logger based
 * on the calling class name. This class also provides method for obtaining named Loggers that use
 * {@link String#format(String, Object...)} style messages instead of the default type of parameterized messages. These
 * are obtained through the {@link #getFormatterLogger(Class)} family of methods. Other service provider methods are
 * given through the {@link #getContext()} and {@link #getFactory()} family of methods; these methods are not normally
